Stolzle Vulkanos Fire Decanter Small #16719

• Fire tempering process: Unlike standard glass annealing, fire tempering applies direct heat to the finished crystal to increase surface hardness. This makes the decanter measurably more chip- and scratch-resistant over repeated use — not just at the point of purchase.
• 21 oz capacity: Sized for roughly half a standard 750ml bottle. Practical for serving a single varietal or a smaller pour at the table without opening a full bottle.
• Raised interior base cone: The volcano-shaped protrusion inside the base spreads wine across a wider surface area as it settles, supporting passive aeration while the decanter sits on the table — no swirling required.
• 100% lead-free crystal — safe for extended decanting without concern about leaching.
• Machine-pulled construction: Uniform wall thickness throughout the piece contributes to both dishwasher safety and consistent light refraction. This is how Stolzle achieves hotel- and restaurant-grade durability at this price point.
• Compact footprint — 5" × 5" base with a 10½" height stores upright in most standard cabinet spaces.
• Made in Europe; Stolzle glassware is in active use in hotels, restaurants and vineyards worldwide.

Is the Stolzle Vulkanos Fire Decanter dishwasher safe?

A: Yes. Stolzle specializes in machine-pulled and machine-melted glassware that is fully dishwasher safe. The fire tempering process the crystal undergoes actually increases its hardness and durability compared to standard crystal decanters, making it more resistant to the heat and handling of regular dishwasher cycles without sacrificing clarity.

What does “fire tempered” mean, and why does it make this decanter different?

A: Fire tempering is a manufacturing process where the finished crystal is exposed to controlled high heat, which restructures the surface of the glass to increase its hardness. The result is greater resistance to breakage and scratching and clarity that holds up over years of use — not just at purchase. Most standard crystal decanters skip this step, which is why the Vulkanos Fire series carries noticeably better durability without the weight or opacity of thicker glass.

Does this decanter hold a full bottle of wine?

A: No — with a capacity of 21 ounces, this small decanter holds roughly three-quarters of a standard 750ml bottle (which is about 25.4 oz). It is sized for a few generous pours, making it a natural fit for table service when you’re decanting by the glass or serving a smaller group. Stolzle also makes a larger version in the Fire series if full-bottle capacity is needed.

What types of wine does this decanter work best with?

A: The Vulkanos Fire Decanter is specifically shaped to benefit young red wines — the wide base exposes wine to air, helping balance aromas and soften tannins that haven’t had years in the bottle to mellow on their own. The sheer rim and tapered neck then channel those opened-up aromas cleanly into the glass. Structured reds like young Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah or Barolo are where you’ll notice the most difference.

Does a stopper come included with this decanter?

A: No stopper is included. The decanter measures 5” wide x 5” deep x 10½” tall and is sold as a single piece. A compatible crystal stopper (such as the Eisch Decanter Stopper #3885) can be purchased separately if you want to preserve leftover wine after serving.
