Small Colognes
The cologne series is made a little differently from perfumes. I create the stoppers first, with a murrini inclusion in the center of the round head of the stopper. The stopper stem is pulled out to create the portion that inserts into the neck of the bottle.
After annealing the stoppers overnight, I blow each bottle to fit the stem of the stopper. Because they are hot fitted, these bottles will not form an airtight seal.
Best used for enjoying the color and form.
Medium Colognes
Stoppers
Here is a glimpse of the stoppers separate from their bottles. All of the cologne stoppers are a unique design fit to their bottle.
Stoppers fit one bottle, and one only_ very choosy fellows.
Large Colognes
These bottles sport stripes, in the same rainbow of colors seen in the. Stoppers are short, to prevent breakage in handling.
These bottles echo the forms of small and medium colognes, and provide a lovely sense of grouping.
All Colognes stamped with my sigil, while hot.
