Recycled glass wine bottle 290 ml brown color

Recycled glass wine bottle – Hand-Finished Craft

Made by “Cristalleria Moleria La Grotta del Cristallo” in Colle di Val d’Elsa, Tuscany, led by artisan Luciano Bandinelli, this piece blends sustainability with Italian mastery. The cut–flattened–hand-polished finish boosts brightness and that crisp transparency locals are famous for, mixing modern and vintage flair.

Product Intro

Born from a rescued Bordeaux wine bottle, this tumbler brings clean lines, juicy sparkle, and a bottle-green tone that pops without stealing the show. Manual finishing delivers a comfy lip and mirror sheen that plays with light like fine crystal work. Zero-waste mindset, everyday elegance: simple geometry, balanced proportions, authentic hand-made vibes—each piece carries tiny variations as a badge of real craft.

• Origin: Colle di Val d’Elsa workshop (since 1963).
• Signature: the expert hand of Luciano Bandinelli.
• Sensory plus: silky rim for smooth sipping.
• Sustainability: creative reuse of Bordeaux bottles.

The inside/outside polish catches highlights, making water, juice, cocktails, and young wines look extra fresh. It’s style for the daily table, smart gifting, and Italian conviviality.

The hand cut–flatten–polish workflow yields an even rim, stable base, and smooth surfaces. The precise cut sets height; base flattening adds stability; the final polish erases micro-marks for bright reflections and a velvet feel. With 230 g heft and 290 ml capacity, it nails the balance between sturdy and airy. Bottle-green is timeless and adds character while keeping your drink’s color honest. Tiny differences? Totally normal—real handcraft right there.

Materials

We pick quality Bordeaux bottles, deep-clean them, and prep for grinding and polish. Even though it’s recycled glass, we chase that crystal-grade shine: mirror surfaces, soft edges, uniform rims. The lab’s been at it since 1963—abrasives, felts, and fine polishing pastes bring out the natural glow while cutting footprint and giving glass a second life.

• Careful bottle selection.
• Residue removal and prep.
• Pro-grade polishing pastes.
• Backlit visual checks for uniformity.

End result: premium look, durable feel, and sparkly finish—true to Cristalleria Artistica Bandinelli standards.

Making Process

All by hand: mark height, controlled cut, edge trim, base flattening, double polish (inside/outside). Maestro Luciano Bandinelli tunes pressure, speed, and abrasives to avoid stress and keep the glass pristine. Tuscan grinding tradition meets modern taste: Bordeaux silhouette kept, finish leveled up for everyday luxury.

• Cut: clean and square for symmetry.
• Flatten: stable, wobble-free base.
• Polish: removes micro-scratches, adds deep gloss.
• QC: visual and tactile checks on every piece.

Comfortable, safe, and gorgeous—reflections that nod to Colle di Val d’Elsa’s crystal heritage.

Inspiration & Design

Inspired by wine culture and circular design. The bottle’s soul becomes a characterful tumbler that plays nice with modern minimal or rustic-chic tables. Bottle-green pairs sweet with light woods, white ceramics, satin flatware, and natural linen. Minimal homes get a fresh accent; country spaces feel warmer; cool bars get an elegant sustainability story.

• Style: essential, functional, with attitude.
• Identity: Italian handcraft, Bandinelli’s touch.
• Versatility: décor piece and daily glass.
• Add to cart and level-up your sip game.

Uses & Applications

Great for water, soft drinks, juices, short cocktails, and spirits on ice; sweet for casual wine tasting thanks to that smooth rim. At home, it vibes with white dinnerware, clear glass sets, or bold colors—adds rhythm and depth. In restaurants and wine bars, it’s a small statement piece that tells a local story.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the shine: hand wash with mild soap and warm water, use soft sponge, dry with microfiber to dodge streaks. Dishwasher? Sure—gentle cycles and low heat, spaced out so it won’t bump others. Avoid thermal shock (no hot-to-ice jumps) and harsh abrasives. Store upside-down on soft cloths to protect that polished rim. If haze shows up, rinse with water + a splash of white vinegar, then rinse clear.

• Wash: gentle hand wash or soft dishwasher cycle.
