Vagabond House Octopus Pewter Stem Bordeaux Glass for Adults 9.25 inch Tall 21 oz.

Vagabond House's Bordeaux glasses, crafted with pewter stems, draw inspiration from a captivating 17th-century Italian legend. This tale tells of an octopus that rings the church bells, valiantly saving the village of Tellara from impending pirate danger. The design features a remarkable figural “kraken” octopus that lifts a substantial anchor while elegantly supporting the bowl of the Bordeaux wine glass.

These exquisite glasses are specifically tailored to provide optimal enjoyment for full-bodied red wines, which often possess high alcohol content and robust tannins. The generous size of the glass allows for effective aeration, enabling the wine to unveil its complex bouquet. Additionally, the rim's unique shape channels the wine to the front palate, enhancing its sweetness and highlighting the fruity notes while softening any bitter tannins present.

A distinct aspect of our Bordeaux glasses is the replaceable bowls—a unique offering by Vagabond House. This feature ensures that your stunning artisan stemware remains functional and beautiful in your home for a lifetime. Each glass is handblown using Italian glass, complemented by a handcrafted solid lead-free pewter stem, resulting in a striking piece that brings both elegance and a maritime touch to your table setting.

These generously sized glasses not only elevate the drinking experience, allowing your favorite wines to fully develop their body and aroma but also serve as a conversation starter due to their exquisitely detailed stem. To maintain their beauty, we recommend handwashing and drying them with a soft cloth.

Presented in a gift box, these glasses make for an excellent gift choice for hosts, housewarmings, or bridal showers, offering both functionality and a touch of artistic flair to any occasion.
