Wine bottle serving ware and manufacturing process

Abstract

A glass wine bottle serving ware and the method of manufacturing that uses a standard glass wine bottle. The outside surface of the bottle is first treated with a cleaning-wetting solution that cleans and removes oil from the surface, and keeps the outside surface fog free. Mini egg shell frits and optional gold mica is then applied to the wet inside surface. A U-shaped copper wire is bent and attached to the top of the wine bottle that will serve as a device for hanging. The bottle is then placed inside a glass kiln. A piece of ceramic is placed under the neck of the bottle to create a bent handle when heating. The wine bottle is then heated in a sequential manner to create a flat, serving ware with a bent handle.

1 . A glass serving ware, comprising:
 a. a transparent or partially transparent flat glass wine bottle-shaped body with an L-shaped bent handle that acts as an elevated handle when said body is placed on a flat surface, said body including gold mica particles located on the collapsed inside cavity of said wine bottle; and,   b. a U-shaped wire extending from said neck of said bottle.   
   
   
       2 . A wine bottle serving ware manufacturing process, comprising the following steps:
 a. selecting an empty glass wine bottle with a upward neck and wide cylindrical body;   b. coating the outside surface of said wine bottle with a cleaning-wetting solution;   c. applying gold mica particles to the inside surface of said wine bottle;   d. attaching a U-shaped wire to the neck of said wine bottle;   e. positioning said wine bottle horizontally on a kiln oven compatible support surface;   f. placing a ceramic raised element under said neck of said wine bottle;   g. placing said wine bottle and said support surface on kiln;   h. heating said kiln at a rate of 500 degrees per hour up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, soak for 20 minutes;   i. heating said kiln at a rate of 500 degrees Fahrenheit per hour up to 1,275 degrees Fahrenheit, soak for 20 minutes;   j. heating said kiln to 1,475 degrees Fahrenheit;   k. reducing the temperature in said kiln to 968 degrees Fahrenheit, and soaking said kiln for 45 minutes; and,   l. letting said wine bottle to cool to room temperature.
