About Artwork: Original Bodegas Riojanas España Vintage Wine Cheese Tray

This 16-inch long glass tray demonstrates the creative intersection of wine appreciation and sustainable artistry. Originally a 1.5-liter magnum bottle from one of Rioja's most respected producers, this vessel once contained a Gran Reserva—Spain's highest quality designation requiring extended aging before release. Through the glass slumping technique, this bottle has been carefully heated and transformed while preserving its provenance and visual identity. The greater dimensions of this piece—larger than standard wine bottle trays—reflect its magnum origins, providing an especially generous serving or display surface. The twisted silver wire handle adds both functionality and visual contrast to the deep green glass. When displayed in contemporary spaces, this piece brings Mediterranean heritage and sustainable artistry together, creating a conversation starter that connects viewers to Spain's winemaking traditions while demonstrating how creative vision transforms discarded luxury into enduring functional art.
