Re-GenerationGlassware Bottle, 1.2L, 100% Recycled

I love this recycled glass bottle; it looks great empty or filled.I thought I might have used it as a vase for artificial flowers but it is too good not to use it every day, so I’m using it to hold drinking water on the dining table. It doesn’t come with any kind of lid, so it’s a very temporary measure for refreshments.It’s large and quite heavy but the narrow neck makes it easy to pour. I love the whole recycled appearance and the large embossed design that states this.

The bottle has an appealing shape and I like the regeneration logo embossed on the front, although I find it slightly disconcerting that it is not level. The glass has that old, used appearance that suggests age and that adds to the appeal. It doesn’t come with a cork stopper as described in the listing however, so I am not sure I would use this for wine or soft drinks at the table as it will be difficult to find a piece of cork the right size to fit. It will, however, look good holding a few flowers, fresh or dried, and I think I will use it for that purpose instead.The glass is reasonably well moulded although the join lines could be smoothed over a little more to make them less obvious. Utility, for me, is reduced because it didn’t come with the promised stopper.
