FAQs

What is the capacity of the Tom Dixon Tank Decanter?

The Tom Dixon Tank Decanter has a capacity of 1 liter (1000ml).

Is the copper sphere closure removable?

Yes, the hand-painted copper sphere is designed to be removed for pouring and refilling, and to be used as a stopper.

Can the decanter be used for wine?

While primarily designed for spirits, it could technically be used for wine, though its aesthetic and design are more aligned with spirit presentation. The Tank collection also includes specific wine glasses and a jug.

Will the copper finish on the sphere tarnish?

The sphere is hand-painted. While designed for durability, like all hand-painted items, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals could affect the finish. Regular gentle drying is recommended.

What does 'mouth-blown glass' mean?

Mouth-blown glass is created by inflating molten glass into a bubble (or parison) with a blowpipe. This artisanal technique allows for unique shapes and subtle variations in each piece, making every decanter one-of-a-kind.

What is the inspiration behind the Tank collection's design?

The Tank collection draws inspiration from the utilitarian beauty and functional shapes of scientific glassware, reinterpreted with a minimalist yet decorative approach.

What should I do if the glass appears to change color over time?

The product description notes that the glass's color may evolve over time. This is a natural characteristic of the material and adds to the unique patina of the piece. Gentle care as outlined should preserve its overall appearance.

Troubleshooting

Decanter appears cloudy after washing.

This may be due to mineral deposits from water. Try washing again with a bit of white vinegar and warm water, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth.

Copper sphere closure does not seal properly.

Ensure both the rim of the decanter and the sphere are clean and dry. Minor imperfections in sealing may occur due to the handmade nature; ensure it is seated as firmly as possible.

Visible imperfections in the glass.

Slight variations, air bubbles, or subtle differences in shape are characteristic of mouth-blown glass and are not considered defects but rather marks of its handcrafted origin.
