Riedel Swan Rainbow Magnum Decanter
JANUARY 2020.
Maximilian Riedel is delighted to announce another instalment of Riedel’s cooperation with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which began with a specially designed decanter in 2017. 2020 therefore marks the fourth year of this successful cooperation. Sir Elton John’s original signature will be engraved into each of the 175 crystal decanters, which are handmade in Kufstein.
The distinctive features of Riedel’s decanter collection for the Elton John AIDS Foundation are the special sizes (Magnum or Double Magnum) and the colours of the rainbow.
“Our limited editions usually comprise 50 units. But in the case of the decanter editions for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, we increased the numbers each year so we could keep up with the enormous worldwide demand. I greatly admire the work Sir Elton John does and am honoured to be able to support the Elton John AIDS Foundation again this year,” says Maximilian J. Riedel.
The Magnum decanter has a capacity of 1.5 litres. The production of the decanter is a highly complex and difficult process. Only the glassblowers at the Riedel factory in Kufstein have the skills required to make these extraordinary decanters. Elton John’s autograph is engraved into the base of the decanter, which is also accompanied by a signed and serially numbered certificate.
Each decanter in this edition is a unique piece, a mouth-blown work of art made of crystal glass.
