The Alchemist
The Alchemist looks like it contains something. The amber-tinted glass cylinder, the brass stopper cap, the way the light inside seems to move — it suggests a substance, a formula, a secret.
The glass is hand-blown in a single piece, the amber tint achieved through a traditional iron-oxide process. The brass cap is machined, not cast — the threads are functional, not decorative.
A lantern for people who appreciate the suggestion of mystery.
The Story Behind This Piece
The Alchemist's form is borrowed from 19th-century pharmaceutical display bottles — the kind that sat in apothecary windows to signal the trade. We gave it a flame instead of a tincture.
