This range covers the silver accessories built around serving and decanting wine — funnels, goblets, and wine cradles — genuinely distinct from the separate Wine Coasters category. Wine funnels emerged as part of the same wave of wine-related silver that produced coasters, decanters, and decanter labels at the end of the eighteenth century, once decanting wine from the bottle became fashionable; a funnel’s job was filtering out sediment during that process. Every piece is hallmarked, guaranteeing the silver content under UK law.

Style & Maker History

Wine funnels developed alongside decanters, decanter labels, and wine coasters at the end of the eighteenth century, once decanting wine into a decanter rather than serving straight from the bottle became fashionable — part of the same broader material culture around wine and drinking already described under Wine Coasters.

Buyer's Guide

A wine cradle holds a bottle at an angle rather than upright, which matters most for older wines with more sediment — worth considering if you’re regularly serving older vintages rather than everyday wine. A funnel is the more practical, functional piece of the three; a goblet is closer to a considered individual object. If you’re after a coaster specifically, that’s a separate category — this range covers the accessories around serving and decanting rather than the coaster itself.
