Swirl Textured Wine Bottle Slumping Mold

The Swirl Textured Wine Bottle Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise slumps a 1.75 liter wine bottle into a flat serving tray with the bottle neck raised to form a handle. The textured surface imprints a swirl pattern on the underside of the finished piece, and the raised neck gives the tray a built-in grip. It is a practical way to turn a standard wine bottle into a cheese board or appetizer tray.

The mold measures 17 inches long by 5.5 inches wide by 3.25 inches tall. Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic. Place a prepared wine bottle on the primed mold surface and fire to a slump schedule matched to your glass. The ceramic form is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Swirl Textured Wine Bottle mold make?
It slumps a 1.75 liter wine bottle into a flat tray with the bottle neck raised as a handle. The finished piece works well as a serving tray for cheese or appetizers.

What size bottle do I use?
Creative Paradise suggests a 1.75 liter bottle. The mold is 17 inches long to accommodate that size. Check that your bottle fits the mold before firing.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with standard glass bottles, COE96, or COE90. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using. Keep in mind that found glass such as wine bottles is not tested for art glass compatibility.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the bottle on the mold.

Working Notes

These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a slump schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the mold surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing the bottle.
• Place the wine bottle on the prepared mold. The bottle softens during firing and slumps over the form under gravity, taking on the swirl texture and settling the neck into the raised handle position.
• Found glass such as wine bottles is not tested for compatibility with art glass systems. Test a first run before committing to a full batch.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped piece. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

This is a suggested COE96 starting schedule, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Slump (COE96):

*Segment 4 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96 and standard glass bottles. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
