VESSEL'S TOP 10 DECANTER PICKS

So many beautiful decanters, so hard to choose! 

We have to admit, here at VESSEL we're wine obsessed.  After all, our roots stem from a modern wine concept shop where we showcased some of the most highly designed wine accessories ever amassed into one collection.

We've went ahead and picked some of our favourites.  While all of these decanters are gorgeous, they are also first and for most quite functional, and are guaranteed to be the talk of the table.

Molecule Decanter by Thomas Kral

The Molecule Decanter is really two decanters in one.  Each sphere has an opposing spout, allowing the beverages to be poured from each chamber without spillage.

Mickey Decanter by Studio Sano

Resembling its namesake Mickey Mouse, this cheerful decanter aerates your wine in style. Designed by Takehide Sano and Handblown by Massimo Lunardon, the Mickey is part of a spherically inspired collection of decanters from Studio Sano.

Uplifting Carafe by Dean Brown

Uplifting Carafe (disassembled)

The Uplifting Carafe is simply stunning.  The central carafe is suspended, seemingly in air, by a large and cavernous base making for an elegant presentation.  The Low Uplifting has a tall thin counterpart, and olive and vinegar bottles complete the collection.

Dorian Decanter by Ichendorf for VSL

The Dorian decanter is modelled off a traditional Spanish Porron.  Sleek and modern, the long spout makes for an easy pour with no drip.

Siloboutille 75 by Silo Design

Besides looking lovely, the double walled design of the Siloboutille has a practical purpose, allowing for temperature maintenance of hot or cold beverages.

Funny Fauna Red Wine Pot by Secondome

This is a carafe of grand proportions!  The Red Wine Pot easily decants a Magnum, or even Jeroboam (3L).  Large and in charge, this decanter is part of the Funny Fauna collection designed by Fabrica for Secondome. (And yes, we realize it looks as though it may be intended for other purposes now legal in some states).

Stilla Decanter by JAGA

A marvel of engineering.  To use the Stilla, tip the decanter and fill from the punt on the base, then pour through the spout.  Trust us, it works.  Its unique design prevents the wine from spilling and makes for a great hand feel and easy pour.

Heart Decanter by Kosmos Project

The Kosmos Heart Decanter is a functional art piece.  The attached funnel allows for easy filling, and the top "ventricles" make for a nice grip.  Each decanter is handblown and hand formed by Polish design studio Kosmos Project.

Funny Fauna Duck Decanter

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...it may be a decanter.  The whimsical Duck Decanter from Secondome is large enough to fit a Magnum and clever enough to bring a smile your guests. Part of the Funny Fauna collection designed by Fabrica.

AK Decanter by Anna Karlin

All cylinders and spheres, the voluptuous shape of the AK decanter is simply sublime.
