Harbour Collection: 646913


Our "Tommy" cross is namesaked by a truly incredible cancer crusader, Thomas "Tommy" Harbour, Cross Bottle Guy's step father. Recently faced with a terrible cancer crisis, Tommy, always the quintessential patriarch of our family, is now more dedicated than ever to teaching all of us that there is still a reason to hold on. His tenacity, and strength, paired with his always glowing outlook inspired one of our largest, and most beautiful bottles in the "Harbour Collection", Tommy.

Large French Pendalogue faceted teardrop crystals, with a brilliant, unmatched refractory, pair up with multiple octagonal and oval crystals to create an overall stunning masterclass work, that we find almost as beautiful and inspiring as Tommy. Topped with a rusted, heavy coppered black solder to one of our most beautiful cobalt blue bottles, this one of a kind piece of work will not only grace your home and ignite your guests, but will also contribute to the care and cure of those suffering from Liver Cancer.
PLEASE NOTE:
All proceeds of the purchase of this bottle, and any of the Harbour Collection Bottles go to the research and care of patients suffering from Liver Cancer.
