Innovative Design: JOSEPHINE Decanter ‘Brilliant’
Embodying the allure of a meticulously cut diamond, the JOSEPHINE Decanter stands as a testament to innovative design characterized by minimalism and exquisite craftsmanship. Hand crafted from lead-free crystal, its central cone creates a spiral-shaped swirl upon pouring, rapidly infusing the wine with oxygen. Retaining the signature elegance of the JOSEPHINE collection, this decanter presents wine beautifully and reveals hidden flavors. The depth of the cone offers unmatched control and stability during pouring, allowing for graceful single-handed maneuvering.

It highlights the company's dedication to preserving handcrafted traditions, emphasizing the importance of keeping heritage alive while venturing down new paths.
