Claus Josef Riedel (1925–2004) was an Austrian glassmaker and the ninth-generation head of the Riedel family company. From the late 1950s he developed thin, undecorated stemware whose shape was designed to influence the aroma and taste of particular wines. His Burgundy Grand Cru glass received a gold medal at Expo 58 and entered the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
