It works both as a bottle stopper and, thanks to its included glass stand, as a display object when not in use.
After each use, remove the inner seal, rinse it under warm water, and dry it with a soft cloth. Polish the steel figure with a lint-free cloth; do not wash in a dishwasher. When the bottle is open, rest the figure on its glass stand, away from direct sunlight.

The Face Left Nameless
In ancient Greece, the Corinthian helmet covered a warrior’s face almost entirely, leaving only a narrow slit for the eyes. This was not a limitation but a choice: the person wearing it stopped being a name and became a stance instead. Repeated endlessly across statues, vases, and temple reliefs, the form never belonged to a single hero — it belonged to every hero.
This stopper carries that anonymity into an object. The helmet form is produced in our atelier by investment casting: a hand-shaped wax model, a refractory mould, then stainless steel poured at high heat. The sharp lines of the cheek guards and the crest ridge on top stay crisp on the hand-finished surface.
The food-safe inner stopper keeps wine from air; when not in use, the figure rests on its own glass stand. It comes in three colour options. Like the helmet whose wearer was never quite known, this object brings its own quiet stance to your table.
