Description
This hand-painted bottle stopper pairs a glazed ceramic top with a natural cork, ready to close an opened bottle with a little colour. The rounded top is white, painted with deep blue flowers with red centres, pale blue leaves on fine black stems and small red berries that wind all the way round. It stands 5.8cm tall overall and 3.9cm across, with the ceramic top about 4cm across and 3cm high, and the cork 1.7cm across and 2.8cm long. Because each one is painted by hand, the colours and the look of the pattern may vary slightly from piece to piece, so yours will be its own.
It belongs on the kitchen worktop or the dining table, pressed into a bottle of wine you have opened but not finished, so it can stand upright on a shelf or in the fridge door with its top closed. The blue and white pattern sits happily beside everyday white china or a painted jug, and it looks as much at home in a country kitchen as on a smart dinner table. It also makes a small, cheerful gift to tuck alongside a bottle you are giving, finished with nothing more than a ribbon round the neck.
The top is ceramic, with a glossy glaze over the painting, and the tapered cork presses into the neck of the bottle to close it. Necks vary, so it is worth checking the cork's 1.7cm width against the bottle you have in mind. At a light 0.06KG, it sits neatly in the neck without weighing the bottle down. To keep it looking its best, wipe the ceramic top with a damp cloth and let the cork dry naturally before you put it away. Keep one in the cutlery drawer and you will never be hunting for a cork again.

Frequently Asked
How big is the bottle stopper?
It stands 5.8cm tall and 3.9cm across overall. The ceramic top is about 4cm across and 3cm high, and the cork is 1.7cm across and 2.8cm long.
What is the bottle stopper made of?
The top is glazed ceramic and the stopper itself is cork, so a hand-painted top sits on a natural cork that presses into the neck of the bottle.
What colours are in the pattern?
The top is white with deep blue flowers with red centres, pale blue leaves on black stems and small red berries. Because each one is painted by hand, colours may vary slightly.
Will it fit my bottle?
The tapered cork is 1.7cm across and 2.8cm long. Bottle necks vary in width, so we suggest checking that measurement against the neck of the bottle you want to close.
How do I clean it?
We suggest wiping the ceramic top with a damp cloth and letting the cork dry naturally before you put it away. This is good general care for both materials.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It is a small, cheerful gift that ties neatly to the neck of a bottle with a ribbon, and its hand-painted blue pattern brings colour to the table.
