Description
This hand-painted leaf bottle stopper pairs a rounded ceramic top with a natural cork base, a small, practical piece that looks good on the table. The domed top is glazed in a soft cream and painted with a ring of dark green leaves that fan out from the centre, so the pattern reads cleanly whether you look down on it or catch it from the side. It stands about 5.8cm tall overall. The ceramic top is roughly 4cm across and 3cm high, and the cork beneath it is 1.7cm across and 2.8cm long, tapering slightly so it pushes neatly into the neck of a bottle.
We like it most in the kitchen and on the dining table, where an opened bottle of wine tends to sit through an evening meal. Rather than hunting for the original cork or leaving a bottle open, you simply press this one in and the bottle is closed and ready to put back on the side. The cream and green colouring sits happily alongside plain white crockery, stoneware or a wooden table, and the leaf design brings a little hand-painted charm to a relaxed supper at home. It also makes a thoughtful little present on its own or tucked in with a bottle.
Each top is painted by hand, so the colours and the exact look of the leaves may vary slightly from one stopper to the next, which is part of its appeal. The glaze gives the ceramic a smooth, glossy finish, and the cork base is left natural. For care, we suggest wiping the ceramic top with a damp cloth and letting the cork dry in the air before you use it again, rather than soaking it. Keep one by the wine rack or in the drawer with your corkscrew, and it will be to hand whenever a bottle needs closing.
