Mozartkugel Music Box

Filed under: Decor

My favorite kind of Mozartkugel are the chocolate and marzipan candy but this Mozartkugel is pretty nifty too. The simple solid wooden ball is a minimalist music box. Turn the key and the 18-note chime plays if the ball is rolling or standing still. The 92mm wooden ball comes in light beech or dark oak and plays 'Voi che sapete' from 'Marriage of Figaro' by W.A. Mozart. It sells for $69 and comes with the key and a display cradle in a gift box.

The Riedel Amadeo collection is one of the newest from the Austrian company, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. The Amadeo name commemorates the fact that this is also Mozart's 250th anniversary year. According to their website, founder Claus Riedel was the first glass-maker to create wine glasses that varied in shape according to the wine they were to contain. The Amadeo Lyra Crystal decanter takes its name from its unique shape. It holds 59 ounces of your favorite wine, young or old, allowing it to breathe and have the clarity of its flavor shine through. Price: $300.

When we talk multimillion dollar edibles one place always takes the cake, Tokyo. We've seen a diamond fruitcake and a diamond chocolate but now this time it's all about the gold. The latest feat of culinary decadence is this Vienna Gold Coin Cake which is on display in a Tokyo jewelry store. The cake celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart. The four-level cake is worth $2.16 million and is covered with gold coins and gold leaf.
