Ctek made this piece from 1” thick laminated glass and stainless steel. The 2,400-pound watertight bottle is filled with 3,500 lbs of crushed glass. It’s an unusually challenging project designed by artist Mark Dion called “Ship in a bottle,” demonstrating our glass technology.

The bottle is made from overlapping seams, laminated together with high precision, making it a monolithic permanent glass structure without silicone.
