A labour of love, Bliss displays a rotund foundation with an off-centre heart stamped from each side, thus compressing the crystal into a thin pane of solid glass. This innovative

design forces the wine to pool around the element while providing a place for the fingers to rest as the wine flows out of the decanter into a waiting glass. Like the rest of the Black Tie collection, Bliss is dressed up with a black tuxedo stripe that extends gracefully from top to bottom. 14-3/8 inches. Box of 1.

This daring decanter is mouth-blown and formed by hand without the use of molds, making each a unique work of art.

Fine Crystal, Mouth-Blown.

"I prefer to decant wines, both young as well as old. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to help deliver that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging." - (thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)
