Is this the best or worst decanter you've ever seen?

To look at or to clean?

I prefer the Octopus one myself.

I didn’t know the Ood drank wine.

450mL? For your half-bottle decanting needs? I suppose that if it held a full bottle with room for surface area, it would be even more awkward to actually pour out of. As it is, I would give it 3 uses plus or minus 2 before I broke it.

I found a video of someone filling it and pouring.

Worst for function, but looks cool. You can clean it fine with lye and citric acid, but 450ml is useless and somebody with strong hands is probably going to break it.

To buy or not to buy? …

That’s definitely a unique piece of decanter art but, as others mentioned, the 450ml size really limits its utility. But it WOULD be quite a statement piece to have your very own dedicated half bottle decanter, let alone one with this level of visual appeal.

I went to a Schrader tasting in downtown Napa earlier this month, and on one of the tables they had snake shaped Riedel decanter, that this jellyfish one reminded me of a bit. Not sure if this is the exact same one or not, but it looked very much like this:

Similarly, it was quite a statement/conversation piece and I can see folks liking that aspect of the jellyfish decanter.

I would shatter that on first touch. I might even break it by looking at it. Not a chance in hell I would buy it.

PS. And it is fugly.

If that decanter was a heart I’d recommend it to all my ER friends.

My Wife is partial to this one.

Came for this and wasn’t disappointed.

Must have been a nightmare to make. I collect decanters and these were a couple gifted to me., although I did ask for the top one.
