Wire wrapped orange bottle with cork lid

Description

This orange bottle is a Leyenda del Milagro tequila bottle -- sans the tequila, sorry! I've wrapped the empty bottle in enameled copper wire, which was about a 6 hour process! The wire finials are tightly wrapped into stiff, shiny coils, which nicely offset the color of the bottle itself.

In normal lighting, the writing on the bottle is not easily visible, but in the camera's flash: voila! The writing is permanent, and the bottle itself is hand-washable in soap and water with heat tolerances up to 150C and higher.

The bottle comes with its original lid with a cork attached, and can be used as a vase, or as a container and dispenser for oils/vinegars, salad dressings, wines, or your own favorite concoctions!!

I have a number of other bottles of various sizes, shapes, and colors that I will be wrapping over the next several weeks. I have enameled copper wire in a variety of colors and gauges. The enamel is permanent, and protects the wire from tarnishing, ensuring that this bottle will be bright and shiny for years to come!!
