A surprising and delightful piece, this decanter from Royal Selangor will be a conversation starter at your next dinner party.
Made from glass with pewter elements, it's shaped like a whale. Wine is poured through its blowhole using a special funnel that both sieves and aerates the wine, releasing the flavours for maximum pleasure.
Pewter is almost maintenance-free as it does not react with the air to oxidise or tarnish. It can attract dust and dirt, but all that's required is an occasional wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Over time and with use, pewter develops a pleasing and subdued patina unique to the metal which is part of the beauty of investing in this material.
