Description
This lobster bottle opener brings a little seaside humour to the simple job of lifting a cap, with the whole creature shaped in metal and finished in bright silver. Its two big claws reach up and curve around the opening, so the part that catches the cap sits neatly between them. Lower down, the head, the jointed body and the ridged tail are picked out in fine detail, with three slender legs fanning out on each side. It is 13cm tall, 7.5cm wide and just 1cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand and lies flat in a drawer.
We think it earns its place wherever drinks are poured. Keep it in the kitchen drawer for everyday use, leave it out beside the home bar, or bring it to the dining table when friends come round for supper. It suits a coastal or nautical kitchen especially well, where it looks as good resting on a shelf as it does at work, and its slim shape slips easily into a picnic basket for a day by the sea. Because it is shaped like a lobster rather than a plain tool, it also makes a cheerful little gift that raises a smile every time a bottle is opened.
The opener is made of metal from claw to tail, and its bright silver finish catches the light on the raised detail of the shell. To use it, hook the opening under the edge of a cap and lift; the claws give your fingers a good grip as you do. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth after use, dry it thoroughly straight away and give it a gentle polish with a soft dry cloth now and then. We like to tie it with a ribbon to a couple of favourite bottles for a ready-made present.
