I am never one to pass up free raw materials and some bottles are such a great shape that it seems a crime to just smash them up for recycling. You may well recognise which sparkling drink comes in thie lovely tapering bottle.
To create the vase I cut off the top of the bottle and ground the glass smooth, before sandblasting the design on and finishing the surface with a protective coating.

Full description
This eye-catching green glass vase was once an elegantly shaped bottle full of a sparkling elderflower drink, far too good to end up in the bottle bank - so I rescued it and turned it into a vase.
To create this recycled bottle vase, I cut the top off at an angle which complements the unusual tapering shape and ground it smooth, then sandblasted the surface, leaving clear a dragonfly flying through tall grass.
This bottle green glass vase would be a lovely accent piece for a windowsill where the light will shine through the dragonfly and grasses, but look just as good filled with your favourite flowers.
Sandblasted recycled bottle green glass vase, handmade by me in my home studio on the Wirral peninsula, NW England.
DIMENSIONS: The vase base is 9cm (3.5") in diameter, narrowing to 5.5cm (2.25") at the top, and 19cm (7.5") tall.
CARE: The frosted finish is permanently etched into the glass and has a protective coating to resist finger marks. I advise gentle handwashing to retain the protective surface coating; do not put this vase in the dishwasher as over time this will dull the surface.
