{"product_id":"magpie-and-tiger-wine-stopper","title":"Magpie and tiger wine stopper","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wine stopper in cast zinc alloy, colored in enamel, built around \u003cem\u003ehojakdo\u003c\/em\u003e (호작도), the magpie-and-tiger painting Joseon households hung at the gate each New Year: the tiger drives misfortune off, the magpie brings the good news in. The genre doubled as satire, the tiger standing in for a corrupt official, which is why the face is comic rather than fearsome. Mimidar left every line raised in brass between the enamel fields and layered the metal so the magpie lifts off the branch. The two green tassels are pine needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything above the plug is metal, and the weight is part of how the seal holds. The silicone below steps down through five ridges and closes bottle mouths from 16 to 20 mm, so whisky, spirits and oil bottles keep under it as well as wine; it seals without going all the way in. 105 mm tall and 128 g, which is enough to stand well above the neck, so a stoppered bottle will not clear a low fridge shelf. The plug pulls off the metal for washing. Tested by SGS and clear of heavy metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is the throne room at Gyeongbokgung, shrunk: \u003cem\u003ekkotsalmun\u003c\/em\u003e (꽃살문) lattice on the doors, the \u003cem\u003eIrwolobongdo\u003c\/em\u003e screen inside, and the stopper standing on the red seat in the middle. Notes in Korean and English explain the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"care\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Mimidar","offers":[{"title":"White Tiger","offer_id":47256281186479,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Tiger","offer_id":47256281219247,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5917\/1503\/files\/magpie-and-tiger-wine-stopper-03-function.jpg?v=1785151845","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsoodam.com\/products\/magpie-and-tiger-wine-stopper","provider":"Soodam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
