Comments
This is not a form you will find very often. An Ogee bowl on an air twist is quite rare. We currently have 65 sold air twist wines on the web site and only 2 have ogee bowls. The stem is also rare and of the 65 sold example we only have 1 with a central air column within a multispiral. The double series air twists are approx a 1 in 10 ratio to the single series. All in all a very fine and rare example.
