Further Info
"Original Chateau Mouton Rothschild Vintage Wine Cheese Tray" presents a remarkable fusion of luxury viticulture and sustainable artistry through this flattened 1990 Mouton Rothschild wine bottle. The prestigious Bordeaux vessel retains its distinctive shape and iconic label featuring Francis Bacon's artwork—a sinuous, pink form against a dark background with the French inscription honoring the artist. The deep emerald glass has been skillfully transformed while preserving the bottle's elegant silhouette and signature Rothschild label with its golden castle motif and distinctive Pauillac designation.
About Artwork: Original Chateau Mouton Rothschild Vintage Wine Cheese TrayThis 13-inch long glass tray represents the creative intersection of high luxury and thoughtful repurposing. The piece originates from the collection of a resourceful artist who salvaged empty bottles from upscale Wall Street celebrations, giving these discarded vessels new life through the glass slumping technique. The flattening process has carefully preserved the bottle's prestigious identity—particularly significant as Mouton Rothschild is known for its annually commissioned label art by renowned artists, making each vintage both a fine wine and a collector's item. Through careful heating and transformation, what once contained one of the world's most celebrated wines now serves as a distinctive serving surface or decorative accent. When displayed, this conversation-starting piece brings multiple narratives together: the celebrated Bordeaux vineyard tradition, the artistic collaboration that makes Mouton labels uniquely collectible, and the contemporary upcycling movement that finds new purpose in luxury objects.
