Bordeaux-born artist Etienne Meneau has released the latest additions, No5 and No6 to his “carafes” collection of unique decanter sculptures inspired by the vines of the famed wine region where he finds his roots.

Individually handcrafted out of borosilicate glass, each decanter is approximately 65 centimeters tall and holds a standard 75cl bottle of wine, resembling the branches or roots of a plant, or veins in the human body when filled.

Only eight pieces of each edition in the Strange Decanter collection have been produced, retailing for between 2,000 and 5,000 euros each.
