Vintage Abalone Articulated Fish Bottle Opener
Vintage Abalone Articulated Fish Bottle Opener
A rare art piece for your bar cart. Made by hand in midcentury Mexico, each fish has a character all its own, owing to its hand-inlaid abalone scales and distinctive expression. The articulated design allows the fish's form to move in a lifelike manner, and they can also be displayed standing on their tail for an added feat. A remarkable artisan design that captivates the cocktail enthusiast and vintage lover alike.
