I love wine and I love cats. Not in that order. Most days. I won this 3-liter wine bottle full of California Chardonnay at a silent auction for the humane society in the small Colorado town I called home for a decade. I moved it 3 times, including all the way to North Carolina, intending to "do something with it" one day. When a glass water pitcher broke and I was able to extract the blue handle intact, my dead wine soldier was reincarnated into a wine amphora. An Italian, porcelain, flower cluster focal point is kept company by gorgeous bright floral china. I used several Homer Laughlin Rhythm patterns, Primrose, Chintz, Woods and Kensington. I added some mother of pearl beads and a vintage necklace up top. Grouted in deep purple grape, of course!

The amphora stands 17.5" high and is a very heavy, statuesque piece. What a perfect gift for the wine-loving master gardener archeologist historian in your life. Available in my etsy store.
