Fancy dessert wine
A revival in studio glass production began in the early 1970s,
with many artisans achieving success by producing limited series
of art glass.
In 1992, glass designer Brad Copping designed a limited edition
of handmade bottles for Inniskilin Winery's annual icewine
vintage.
Six years later, Inniskilin commissioned Copping to create
a
design for their new Cabernet Franc Icewine.
Mythological theme
Copping designed this bottle specifically for the Dragon Ball,
a fundraising initiative for the Chinese community. The bottle
features the traditional mythological symbol of a serpent-like
dragon entwining itself around the base. Each bottle is made
of hand-blown glass that has been carved and sand-blasted.
A
limited run of 100 bottles were made, making this a very desirable
collectors' item! |
