Footnote
Franck’s Kremlin Bell nested decanter was designed in 1957 as a juice set. It is arguably Franck’s most sought-after design. The round carafe which forms the lower section is intended to hold water, whilst the decanter with ball stopper is for juice. The double decanter was exhibited at the 11th Milan Triennale in 1957, where it was awarded the Grand Prix, the highest accolade.
