Brass Bottle Opener – Crescent Moon

Description

I am MIKAZUKI, a crescent moon bottle opener. At first glance I’m a beautiful sight to see. My many phases inspire some to ponder and others to crack open a bottle! Cheers!

Curator’s Notes

We love this bottle opener because it is attractive and provokes curiosity. It’s crescent moon shape is not only extremely functional but is beautifully refined in a way that could also act as a display object.
