As you look for the perfect gift for a holiday or upcoming birthday, consider gifting a handmade glass wine stopper. A glass stopper is a popular, decorative piece that commonly goes into a wine bottle to create an airtight seal once the cork is removed. Many glass artisans in the United States craft distinct designs giving you the opportunity to purchase something that is collectible and not mass produced.
Why Buy Handcrafted Stoppers?
Handmade stoppers enable you to give a truly distinct work of art to someone that you care about. An artist makes the glass that goes into the stopper base individually by hand, meaning that no two glass pieces are exactly alike. Even more, the glasswork contains higher-end materials and the designer takes special care in constructing the piece so that it is more durable than those found in chain stores. Further, if you appreciate glass art, stoppers are an affordable way to start an art glass collection.
Benefits of Glass on the Stopper
Glass is a durable, lasting material that never loses its color. The glass withstands the test of time and meshes with all types of home decor, from warm and cozy homes to higher-end estates. Because this is a handcrafted piece, art glass stoppers are often passed down as an heirloom.
Uses for Wine Bottle Stoppers
Many stopper bases (the portion of the stopper that is not glass) contain different-size rings, which makes it possible for them to fit in various bottles. For example, you can use these glass pieces as an airtight seal for your bottles of wine or cooking oil, or opt to place them in decorative vessels. Many people opt to use glass stoppers solely as a decorative piece and purchase a few bottle stoppers at a time for a display case or mantle.
Caring for Glass Bottle Stoppers
A glass stopper has the potential to last a life time if simple care instructions are followed. Unless the artist specifies otherwise, always hand wash your glass with warm, soapy water so as not to take the risk that the glass gets bumped in a dishwasher. If your glass wine stopper is used for display only, use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe down the glass and base to get rid of dust when needed.
