5 out of 5 starsLove the flat soda bottle! Maybe a bit small for a spoon rest but comes with a nice wire to hang it! Bonus!
Also has rubber dots on bottom so it doesn’t scratch anything!
Came quickly. I will definitely order from here again! Thank you 🤗 -

5 out of 5 starsI received my Melted Wine Bottle and it was very beautifully done. The sea glass color, ribbon, and spreader were even more than what I had expected. The item was very well described, but even better when it came. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Mitchell Glassworks in the least! The receiver of this gift will be extremely happy as I am. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI bought five wine bottle cheese trays for Christmas gifts. They were exactly as pictured online packaged with a pretty ribbon and cheese knife. They are perfect! Thank you for exceeding my expectations.

Hi, I'm Linda. My husband Greg and I melt glass bottles flat in a glass kiln and turn them into cheese trays, spoon rests, and dip dishes. All of our bottles are upcycled from real, recycled glass bottles. We also have added rubber feet to all of our melted bottles to protect your tabletop.

We pride ourselves on having perfectly clean, clear glass. We do a very slow fire to be sure each bottle is perfect. We love what we do and we hope you love what we make.

Shop policies
Most bottles are in our studio ready to ship, but occasionally we have to make the bottle to order. These are all real recycled glass bottles that we melt down into cheese trays and spoon rests. They may have slight imperfections from being in the recycle bins, but we try to make each one as perfect as we can. They will have tiny air bubbles that occur when they melt, and some have a bubble near the neck that can be seen in the photos -- this is normal for a melted bottle.
The bottles are really quite durable as they are a double layer of fused glass. We carefully anneal the glass (cool it slowly)so that it is clean and clear and very hard. Any of the bottles with paint on them are original paints and are ceramic based, so they are similiar to glaze on pottery and should not come of with gentle cutting. I usually use mine with sliced cheeses or cream cheese, but they can handle a good bit of wear.
We recommend hand washing.
The bottles are glass and like most glass they will break under severe circumstances, but for general use they are fantastic.
We don't buy bottles, we try to hunt them all from landfills and save them from a nonfunctional end.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Obviously if it arrives broken or something just send a picture and I'll refund your money.
Payment
Some bottles work, some don't -- we try our best to make every customer happy.
Shipping
We occasionally ship Fed Ex if it is a better deal.
If you are local to Pittsburgh and want to pick you bottles up to save on shipping, no problem, just let us know in notes to seller and we can refund your shipping.
