Description:
Celadon and purple four-legged creature with curly tail wine bottle stopper. Distinctive art handmade in Vermont from stoneware clay, glazed, and then epoxied to medical-grade stainless steel.

"Frank" is looking forward to sticking his head in your favorite bottle! This is one of my favorite glaze combinations, and you can see in the photos it has some slight crackling amongst swirls of purple, white, and teal blue. Very distinctive and beautiful piece!

Perfect for your favorite bottle of wine, vinegar, home-made spirits, or even perfume.

"Frank" is about 4.5 inches long from tip to tip, and almost one inch at his widest.


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.) 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 bottle toppers -- they are a labor of love, each truly one-of-a-kind, take hours to make, and are built to last!


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