We are enamored with this stunning cobalt blue carafe, inspired by Depression glass of the 1930s, designed by acclaimed Italian desgined Paola Navone for the renowned Belgian brand Serax, celebrating the tiny but mighty herring.

For centuries, the herring has shaped trade, tradition, and cuisine across Europe and beyond. Thriving in the cold waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, these shimmering fish sustained civilizations from the Vikings to the Dutch Golden Age. In the Middle Ages, the Hanseatic League built its vast maritime empire on the herring trade, while 14th-century Dutch innovations in preservation—most notably gibbing—transformed the industry. By the 17th century, the Dutch herring fleet ruled the seas, fueling both prosperity and maritime dominance.

An homage to a delightful fish and playful and relaxed addition to any table, weighted just right for the most satisfying of pours!
