Richard Brendon Optic Clear Carafe

Richard Brendon’s Optic collection pays homage to the art of glassblowing – a technique that was born in Germany and quickly adopted in Britain to counteract the cloudiness of champagne in the 17th century. This carafe stays true to the craft with tight ribbon spirals achieved by careful twisting, yet the Notting Hill-based brand puts a contemporary spin on tradition by sanding down the base flat – culminating in a clean-cut, pristine design.
