Several Rainbow Decanters from Riedel, which are signed by Elton John, were a striking part of the glassware specialist’s stand at Ambiente (Frankfurt am Main, February 8-12). The colourful decanters are limited to just 75, with an allocation of 10 snapped up by UK buyers early on at the trade fair.
The decanters retail at £1,500 and all profits go to The Elton John AIDS Foundation. Riedel’s md, Steve McGraw explained: “Creating this coloured crystal needs a highly experienced glassmaker with an incredible level of skill.”
Riedel’s new launches included its new cocktail and spirits range, recognising the growth in the category. The range has been developed with a leading mixologist to create the optimum shapes and style for each drink.
