The deep emerald bottle maintains its elegant silhouette while featuring the historically significant label designed to honor Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The poignant artwork depicts the Baron's contemplative portrait flanked by grape clusters and foliage against a warm amber background.

About Artwork: Original Chateau Mouton Rothschild Vintage Wine Cheese Tray
This 13-inch long glass tray represents the intersection of wine heritage, commemorative art, and sustainable creativity. Through careful glass slumping—a technique where the bottle is heated until it softens and flattens while maintaining its structural integrity—this vessel of exceptional provenance has been given new purpose. The 1987 vintage holds particular significance in Mouton Rothschild's storied history, as it marks both a tribute to the Baron who transformed the estate and bears the meaningful motto "Mouton ne change" ("Mouton does not change") in distinctive red script. The twisted wire handle provides a practical hanging element while referencing the bottle's original form. When displayed in contemporary spaces, this piece invites conversations about fine wine traditions, family legacy, and creative repurposing while serving as both functional surface and artistic statement.
