Artist: Tim Curtin I've been working in clay for twenty years now, and what originally started as a lark has become a definite obsession. I love the ability to sit down with a lump of mud and turn it into something beautiful and long-lasting with nothing more than my hands and fire.
These are *not* your run-of-the-mill corner store bottle toppers -- they are a labor of love, each truly one-of-a-kind, take hours to make, and are built to last! The business end is machined from the highest quality stainless available anywhere, which is then carefully attached to my creations using industrial-strength epoxy. Unlike most stoppers that are plated and can flake or pit, these are medical-grade and can be kept in a bottle for as long as you like. Perfect for anything from wine to perfume to vinegar.

- Description:

Purple and celadon green tall wine bottle stopper. Distinctive art handmade in Vermont from stoneware clay, glazed, and then epoxied to medical-grade stainless steel.
This very distinctive curled spire is definitely a one-of-a-kind. As you can see in the photos, the glazing came out terrific - accents of light blue and white, plus some slight crackling. Very distinctive and beautiful piece!
Perfect for your favorite bottle of wine, scotch, vinegar, home-made spirits, or even perfume.
This stopper is about 7 inches long from tip to tip.
His business end is made of the highest quality stainless available anywhere, which is then attached using industrial-strength epoxy. (See my blog for more info if you're curious about my process.)

All my creations come very carefully wrapped for safety. If you have special shipping needs, let me know and I'll certainly accommodate.
