Manufacturer: Vista Alegre Atlantis, ĺlhavo, Portugal


Ara (“altar”, in Latin) owes its name to the constellation Ara Centauro, which in turn alludes to the altar of Zeus, on which the Olympian gods exchanged vows before the battle against the Titans.
Handmade, this bottle combines the transparent crystal with the cobalt blue, on which is cut a carving that reminds us of the constellations.
