No one is calling for elimination of the bottle — glass is still considered the ideal format for aging wine.

Fun, festive and practical, these snack-sized plates out of Seattle are shaped like a helmet and have a built-in bottle/glass hook that keeps your hands free for waving foam fingers.

The five-day excavation did reveal some non-mind blowing artifacts: parts of old aluminum can pull tabs, bits of broken bottle glass.

Through the open doorway I heard the warm, bustling sounds of a busy inn: the low murmur of conversation, punctuated with laughter, the bright clink of bottle glass, and the dull thump of wooden tankards on tabletops.

Each example of the Icon’s bottle glass is etched and finished with precision-crafted metalwork and adorned with a signature luckenbooth stopper, a heart-shaped traditional Celtic symbol of love.
