Description

The standard wine stopper is forgettable. This one gets left on the counter on purpose.

Each skull is cast from my original hand-sculpted mold at 1:5 anatomical scale – 1.3 inches tall – then painted by hand and mounted on a chrome-plated stopper with a flexible silicone seal. Available in 10 colors with your choice of glossy or matte finish.

Here’s how the finishes differ: Matte reads as aged and naturalistic – like something pulled from an apothecary shelf. Glossy is polished and vivid, more showpiece than artifact. Both are excellent.

Fits: Standard corked wine bottle openings (18.5mm / 5⁄8″–3⁄4″ diameter). The silicone seal keeps wine fresh after opening.

Care note: Prolonged contact with liquid may cause corrosion or pitting. Do not store bottles on their side with liquid touching the stopper.

Custom color options available – use the custom order form if you have something specific in mind.

Need a larger quantity? Contact me – I can accommodate bigger orders, just allow additional lead time beyond the standard 3–7 days.

All sculptures are made to order and take 3–7 days to produce. Hand-finished pieces will have subtle individual variations.

    I'm very pleased with how the tarnished silver skull (with glossy finish) turned out! It fits in my bottles perfectly, and the stopper adds a cool sense of foreboding to any drink.

    These stoppers are so cool! They're surprisingly detailed considering how small they are!

    I went with the matte finish for the "fresh grave brown" based on Brandon's suggestion, and I'm glad I did! It definitely has a more gritty quality to it as though it's actually covered in fresh dirt. Brandon certainly knows his skulls!

    The toxic green skull turned out great! I'm excited to add it to my collection!

    I needed a new stopper for my glass skull water bottle, and I'm glad I chose this! It's very well-made and a perfect fit for the bottle. Also, the level of detail in it is impressive! I'll definitely buy more for my other bottles!
