Livia Carafe
Our hand-blown Livia Carafe was inspired by the tiny perfume or “unguentarium” widely used in the Roman Empire and infuses a bit of futurism into this ancient shape. Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus, was a known lover of blown glass and the finer things, and we thought it would be fitting to name our carafe in her honor. The form is simple, Platonic - a sphere into a cone into a sphere - it will fit in on any tablescape, whether mid-century-inspired, your stateroom on an intergalactic cruise, or in a contemporary farmhouse. We think it goes especially well with its cousin shape: our Cirrus Vase.
The Livia Carafe holds over 750ml, perfect for a bottle of wine or sparkling water, or even as an elevated bedside carafe. It comes with a hand-blown glass stopper- to keep bugs, dust, and other unwanted guests out.
Note: These are hand-blown glass, and some variation is to be expected. Dimensions and texture may vary slightly from those listed. We embrace and encourage these small variations, and feel they add to the overall humanity of each piece.
