Champagne Ornament Twelve with a center drainage holeA champagne ornament belongs on the tree of anyone who finds occasions easily, and December is nothing but occasions. This is a hand blown glass champagne bottle, foil gold at the neck, deep bottle green through the body, label painted freehand, hanging from a firm cap and sturdy loop at a jaunty, celebratory, slightly irresponsible tilt. The glass is blown thin and colored in the mass, so it glows when the tree lights hit it. Simone opens champagne
