About Artwork: Original Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux 1900 Vintage Wine Cheese
This 13-inch long glass tray represents an exceptional convergence of wine history, collector passion, and artistic repurposing. The 1900 vintage label offers a remarkable window into the Belle Époque era of French winemaking—a period when Mouton Rothschild was establishing its legendary reputation but had not yet received its Premier Cru classification. Through the glass slumping technique, this museum-worthy bottle has been carefully heated and transformed while preserving its extraordinary historical significance. The twisted silver wire hanging element adds both functionality and visual counterpoint to the deep green glass. When displayed in contemporary spaces, this piece transcends mere decoration to become a true conversation piece connecting viewers to the golden age of French viticulture at the dawn of the 20th century while demonstrating how creative vision can give new purpose to objects of exceptional provenance.
