Description: This listing is for a Houston Llew Spiritile #005 - With a Twist. I am listing the condition as USED because it comes in the original box, but it does show multiple dents from the previous owner. There are pinhole sized dents to the glass/crazing that are visible up close, but are not visible from a few feet away; please see the photos for details. I have also pointed out some areas on the back of the Spiritile where the adhesive has separated from the copper. This is a RETIRED Spiritile that is hard to find! The list price of current Spiritiles are $199. This is the first of 3 editions of the martini Spiritiles: 005 is the 1st edition, 006 is the 2nd edition, and 151 is the 3rd edition. The quote on the sides: "I like to have a martini, two at the very most. Three I'm under the table, four I'm under the host." - Dorothy Parker Release Date: November 1, 2008Retirement Date: January 1, 2014Collection: Winter 2008 Dimensions: 8.5" x 5.25" x 1.75" The story from the Artist: Sipping one, swirling another, finding happiness and flirtation in the garden party is the signature purpose of any well-refined in-house bar. This classic edgy design has a twin in 006 'With a Twist II.' These spiritiles are made by hand with USA-sourced copper, glass enamel, and a custom wood box frame out of his studio in Atlanta, GA. Please note that when the copper topped with glass enamel are removed from the kiln, it is then rolled over with a rolling pin to create an effect called crazing. These tiny cracks are seen on the glass enamel which increase the luminescence of the piece. Each piece is unique with crazing. ***I HAVE OTHER CURRENT & RETIRED SPIRITILES THAT I AM SELLING.
