apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

All I can think of is the shape of a discarded condom.
So, so, so ewww.

That pretty much kills it for me, then.

Valiantly overcoming the condom metaphor, I like this decanter! I'll bet watching the wine pour through the neck is fun. I wonder what its relation is to knights, though.

its ... bowing?

From the angle of the spout, it looks like you pour it by almost tipping the bottom all the way up. Before I read the website, it made me thing of those wine vessels of yore made from animal "parts" (I've heard everything from sewn leather to actual cow stomachs).

From the product description:
Don't drink and gallop. Long ago, knights used the kuttrolfen, an ingenious decanter that enabled them to sip wine while riding a horse, never spilling a drop. Czech glass maker Josef Flek's modern interpretation of this centuries-old vessel permits wine to flow at a perfectly measured pace, aerating as it goes. Offered in our small and new larger size, each decanter is signed by the artist.

Looks overly fussy to me.
