Calabash Bottle in Indigo Smoke

About the Item

This unique glass water bottle pays homage to the calabash gourd bottles used by different cultures across the globe for centuries. Its waist is wrapped in luxury cordage, and the stopper, complete with a water-tight silicone seal, features the same fine cane work that flows across the body of the bottle. Historically, calabash gourds were used as storage vessels primarily for water, but have also been used to store and carry wines, oils, and in the case of Japanese Hyōtan bottles, medicinal materials. Glass and ceramic artists have used the gourd bottle as inspiration for their own bottles and vessels for as long as the craft has existed.
