Rather than see the glass half empty once the spirits are spent, <a href="/product/recycled-wine-bottle-platter-with-spreader#the-maker">Val Huegerich</a> revives wine bottles so they can join the revelry once more. Her one-of-a-kind glass platters are kiln-formed from recycled bottles gathered from the roadside and national forests near her home in Wyoming. She then cleans and strips the vessels of their labels before melting them into gorgeous, glossy trays. Paired with cork-topped cheese knives, each functional work of art makes a polished backdrop for cheeses and passed hors d'oeuvres. Rustic yet refined, these sets are ideal for the avid entertainer and are great to slip into a picnic basket (along with your favorite cuv&#233;e) to make an alfresco lunch a little more special. Handmade in Laramie, Wyoming.
