Hand-Finished Genie Flask – a glass shape that pulls light from across the room

Glass, finished by hand in purple over a glossy brass-toned undercoat, with mulberry detailing worked through it. It stands 10.5 inches from base to stopper. Each one is cast and painted as an individual piece, so the tone and brushwork vary from bottle to bottle.

Why choose this flask?

Factory decor looks exactly like the next piece on the shelf. Painted by hand, the color depth and the brush detail land slightly differently every time, which no production line reproduces. It suits a collection and it suits a gift for someone with fond memories of the show.

• Individually cast glass: formed one at a time rather than run off in a single mold batch
• Layered paintwork: several coats build color depth and stand up to knocks
• Glossy undercoat: a reflective base that shifts as light moves around the room
• 10.5 inches tall: substantial enough to anchor a shelf rather than disappear on it
• Purple with mulberry: the later-season palette rather than the first-season one

Walk past it twice and it looks different each time.

Place it where light comes in from the side, which is where the gloss layer earns its keep. Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep household sprays and solvents well away from the paint. Variation in tone and brushwork between pieces comes with the hand finishing rather than counting against it.
