A rather elegant decanter and two delightfully mischievous drinking companions. This three-piece pairing brings together a tall, unmarked crystal decanter and two Orrefors Nobel “Snap Devil” cordial glasses designed by Gunnar Cyrén, both retaining their original Orrefors Sweden stickers.
The decanter’s elongated silhouette, vertical facets, and dramatic pointed stopper provide a lovely counterpoint to the glasses’ colorful sculptural figures. Black, red, blue, and gold decoration gives these small characters plenty of personality—and something to discuss between sips.
A charming addition to a drinks cabinet or an intimate after-dinner ritual. Because sometimes a celebration only requires two people and something delicious to pour.
This is a curated pairing. The decanter is unmarked and is not attributed to Orrefors. Includes one decanter with stopper and two cordial glasses.
Measurements
Decanter: 13 inches high × 5 inches wide (33 × 12.7 cm).
Each cordial glass: 6.5 inches high × 2.25 inches wide (16.5 × 5.7 cm).
Condition
Good condition, with some discoloration to the black painted decoration on the glasses. Please examine the photographs for details. Both glasses retain their original Orrefors Sweden stickers.
History of the Maker
Swedish designer Gunnar Cyrén created the Nobel glassware service for Orrefors in 1991. The sculptural “Snap Devil” schnapps glasses followed, with the first introduced in 1996. Their imaginative figures and colorful painted decoration bring a playful spirit to the formality of the dining table.
The accompanying crystal decanter’s maker and production date are unknown.
Ways to Use
Serve schnapps, liqueurs, or a favorite after-dinner cordial. Display the trio on a drinks tray for a small bar arrangement with considerable personality.
For an out-of-the-box idea, use the glasses to present a tiny chilled dessert or an individual sip of dessert wine at the end of a special dinner. They also make wonderfully theatrical companions for a candlelit Halloween table.
