Bottle #071
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 been holding onto this bottle in my collection for quite some time, waiting for the right idea to click.
At first glance, it feels like the perfect vessel for Leaping Toadstools. The shape almost suggests movement, as though whatever is inside might want to jump right out. That said, I keep coming back to a very different possibility. This bottle also feels well suited to the Root of a Venomous Tentacula plant.
I imagine the roots alone would be enough to hint at the kind of plant this would become. Toothy, spiky, and unmistakably dangerous.
Both directions feel right in their own way, and I’m genuinely torn. I’d love to hear your thoughts on which specimen you think belongs in this bottle.
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.
