I first saw this beautiful Riedel decanter back in 2005 and featured it in bookofjoe (above).
The other day I got to wondering if it was still being made and sure enough, it's been popular enough to continue being produced for the past twenty-one years.
Lead-free crystal hand-blown in Austria.
$280.
FunFact: $159.95 in 2005 is worth $266 in today's dollars.
What?! No! They say lead-free crystal.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! My bad. What I think happened is that I simply parroted the 2005 description (which is probably accurate). I will try to do better.
