16. Barware for the Bourbon Lover

I have two lines to recommend: one with a modern flair and the other a line from Italy with old world design.

Decicio glass is designed in Seattle Wa. Their founder, Greg Clark, studied at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design and trained at Pilchuck Glass School.

DeCicio Glass Decanter and whiskey glasses

I have been collecting Match Pewter Barware for years. It is uniquely masculine, but with a surprising feminine softness in the pewter. This line would be a wonderful addition to anyone who loves mixology and wants to upgrade their home bar. Their entire kitchen and home collection is worth a look for that person who has everything and appreciates fine workmanship.
