Riedel Decanter Ayam Black 2016/02
The Ayam decanter is inspired by and named after the rare breed of Indonesian hen, and makes a unique centrepiece for the table in the form of a high-functioning instrument for wine enjoyment.
Formed freely by hand, the decanter features a wide mouth for both receiving and pouring wine, opening into a wider base to allow the free flow of air exchange with the wine. A tapered and curled tip adds a second level of functionality to the Ayam, acting as an elegant handle.
This piece features a black stripe through the design, achieved by introducing a rod of black crystal into the molten glass before the decanter has been formed.
