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.

Deep green and blue wine bottle stopper. Distinctive art handmade in Vermont from stoneware clay, glazed, and then epoxied to medical-grade steel. An heirloom piece!
You'll love seeing "Bullet Time" with his body poking out of the top of your bottle! Nice swirly little tail, two legs, and short stubby wings. He's mostly colored a deep green, but the tips of his tail legs and wings all have a touch of deep blue. This was one of my first stoppers, and still one of my favorites!
Perfect for your favorite bottle of wine, vinegar, home-made spirits, or even perfume.
"Bullet Time" is just over 4 inches long and about an inch wide.
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. These are *not* your run-of-the-mill corner store stoppers -- they are a labor of love, each truly one-of-a-kind, take hours to make, and are built to last!
