Riedel Decanter Cornetto #6660 Confetti Yellow 1977/13Y
The Riedel Decanter Cornetto Yellow is part of the vibrant Cornetto Confetti series inspired by pop art. Handmade and featuring a striking yellow stripe, this elegant decanter is designed for gentle decanting of both young and older wines, minimizing oxygen exposure thanks to its slim, long shape. It holds a single bottle, with a capacity of 1200 ccm and stands 325 mm tall. Handwash recommended.
The Cornetto Confetti series was inspired by pop art. Bright and vibrant, this collection features five pieces in lively colours. The long, thin shape of the Cornetto makes it perfect for both decanting young wines and removing sediment from older wines. The slim design of this decanter means there is a smaller surface area exposed, so fragile older wines are not over exposed to oxygen.
This piece features an yellow stripe through the design, achieved by introducing a rod of blue crystal into the molten glass before the decanter has been formed.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Cornetto is instantly recognisable by its long, slender form, creating an elegant presentation while providing a controlled environment for wine aeration.
Confetti Inspiration: The Cornetto Confetti collection draws inspiration from the bold, colourful spirit of pop art, combining Riedel's traditional handmade craftsmanship with a more playful contemporary aesthetic.
Yellow Crystal Detail: The striking yellow accent is created by introducing a rod of yellow crystal glass into the molten glass before the decanter is formed. This technique integrates the colour into the crystal, giving the piece its distinctive depth and vibrant appearance.
Decanting Performance: The slender design is suitable for both young wines requiring aeration and mature wines that need careful handling and sediment separation. Its reduced surface area helps prevent delicate older wines from being excessively exposed to oxygen.
Handmade Craftsmanship: Each decanter is individually handmade from crystal, giving every piece subtle variations characteristic of traditional glassmaking.
