Wow! Bottle trees are popular throughout the South, too, and I’ve seen some extraordianry examples in my native Tennessee. But I agree, this is really something…

i know its long after the holiday season, but i have to point out that this isn’t a bottle tree. its made of tubes that were all hand blown. as a starting glass artist i think this artist deserves recognition for his hard work. (that said, he probably didnt blow all the tubes himself. he most likely had people in his shop doing that.)
