Bottle #063
About potions from the vault
Every potion begins as a bottle — vintage, antique, or unusually shaped — chosen for the story it might one day hold.
From there, each piece is transformed by hand: vintage metals and woods are sourced, labels are illustrated and aged, sculpted details are added, and inside you may find swirling, colour-shifting liquid or even a curious specimen. No two bottles are ever the same; each carries its own history and a touch of alchemy imagined just for that vessel.

Concept notes:
I’ve really loved hand-sculpting specimens from the wizarding world, and I’ve been especially inspired by all the potions, ingredients, and creatures we encounter in Hogwarts Legacy. For this piece, I’m excited to explore a brand new specimen, and I keep coming back to two very different ideas.
The first is Frozen Ashwinder Eggs. I’m fascinated by Ashwinders, magical snakes born from embers that live for only an hour, just long enough to lay their intensely hot eggs. For this piece, I’m imagining the egg preserved in a frozen state. They have to be kept cold, otherwise they would erupt, and we definitely don’t want that happening in the potion storeroom.
The second option is Fire Salamander Tails. I love the idea of sculpting salamander tails that have detached due to scale rot, an illness that could affect both salamanders and dragons. If left untreated, it causes a salamander’s tail to fall off, making this a rare and difficult ingredient to come by. Preserved as a specimen, it feels like the kind of prize you’d only find in the storerooms of advanced potion masters.
Both directions come with their own creative challenges, either capturing a convincing frozen effect for the eggs or carefully mimicking scale rot on a fire salamander. I’m really excited to see which path this piece ends up taking as I start working with the materials.
When can I expect to hear from you?
Because each potion and specimen is handcrafted and designed uniquely for its bottle, there isn’t a strict timeline; I let the creative process naturally unfold.
That said, I aim to complete reserved bottles within 1–2 months.
