Italesse Vinocchio Decanter Clear Base #30819

• Mouth-blown lead-free crystalline glass: Each decanter is individually hand-formed, giving the spherical body a seamless, optically clear finish that pressed or machine-blown glass at this size cannot replicate.
• Deep punt and wide spherical bowl: Wine pools across a large curved surface inside the globe, which accelerates aeration more effectively than a narrow-based decanter of the same 53 oz capacity.
• Non-drip spout keeps the pour clean in either display position
• Two stable display positions: Rests at a dramatic angle on the included clear acrylic base, or stands upright on its own — useful when table space is limited or you want a lower profile on a sideboard.
• 53 oz holds a full standard bottle with room to swirl
• Designed by Federico Venier, Italian industrial designer known for sculptural glassware forms
• Made in Europe

Does the clear acrylic base come included with the Vinocchio decanter, or is it sold separately?

A: The clear acrylic base is included. It holds the decanter at an angle, which is the signature display position you see in product photos. The Vinocchio also stands upright on its own without the base, so you have flexibility in how you use or display it.

Is the Vinocchio decanter lead-free?

A: Yes. It is mouth-blown from lead-free crystalline glass, made in Europe. The crystal is clear and lightweight for its size — the decanter weighs 5.3 lbs fully assembled — and the lead-free construction makes it safe for regular wine use.

How much wine does the Vinocchio hold — is it enough for a full bottle?

A: The Vinocchio holds 53 ounces, which is just over two standard 750ml bottles (a single bottle is roughly 25.4 oz). It has more than enough capacity for a full bottle of red with room for the wine to breathe and move inside the spherical chamber.

Who designed the Vinocchio, and where is it made?

A: The Vinocchio was designed by Federico Venier, a renowned Italian designer, for Italesse. It is made in Europe. The spherical body, angled neck and deep punt are all functional design choices — the shape maximizes surface area for aeration while the non-drip spout keeps pouring clean and controlled.

What are the dimensions of the Vinocchio decanter?

A: The decanter measures 6¼" wide x 6¼" deep x 14" tall as shown on the stand. The height makes it a substantial presence on a table without being oversized for most dining settings.

Does the angled neck actually make it easier to pour, or is it just decorative?

A: The angled neck is functional. The ergonomic design is specifically built to give you control during the pour, and the non-drip spout prevents the wine from running down the outside of the glass. The deep punt in the base of the spherical chamber also aids aeration by increasing contact between the wine and air as you tilt the decanter.
