AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This handmade wine decanter with stand, designed by Borek Sipek, the renowned Czech architect, designer, and glass artist. This limited annual edition was produced in 2001 on commission from DSM by the Ajeto Glass Factory in the Czech Republic.

The mouth-blown decanter is made of transparent green-tinted Bohemian crystal and rests on a solid crystal base, which also functions as a cooling element. The base can be cooled in the freezer, allowing the contents of the decanter to stay cold for an extended period. The crystal cooling element is signed at the bottom with 'Sipek'.

The design is inspired by baroque glassware as depicted in paintings from the Dutch Golden Age and is considered a characteristic example of Šípek's neo-baroque style. His glass art is part of collections such as MoMA New York.

The dimensions of the stand are approximately 18 × 18 × 7 cm. The decanter has a height of 26 cm and the diameter of the sphere is 13 cm. The height of the decanter on the stand is 30 cm.

The set can be picked up or shipped. The costs of shipping, any insurance, and the risks of shipping are the buyer's responsibility. I prefer pickup given the fragility of the carafe and the base.
