"This handcrafted sterling silver wine stopper by W.J. Sanders takes the form of a black cockatoo, finished with deep ruthenium plating and gold-plated accents to hint at the bird’s striking feather markings. The contrasting tones create a rich, dimensional surface that highlights the intricacy of the sculpted detail.

Cabochon sapphire eyes lend a refined focal point, enhancing the expressive quality of the piece. Measuring 9.7 cm high and 4.5 cm wide, the stopper is engineered to preserve wine while serving as a distinctive decorative element.

Bold, tactile, and highly collectible, this design captures the elegance and character of native birdlife through the lens of exceptional craftsmanship."
