I cannot help it, but whenever I see Eva Zeisel's Hyalyn High Fashion wine bottle I think of I Dream of Jeannie and that wonderfully exotic bottle where Jeannie would take up residence whenever she wanted to get away from her master. When I was a boy, I would fantasize about how fun it would be to stow away inside my own private bottle. To hold Eva's wine bottle, with its undulating curves, flared stopper and imposing size (over 17-inches high) brings back that fantastic memory–I want to jump right in. In 1964, predating I Dream of Jeannie by over a year, Eva designed this amazing wine bottle and the companion dinnerware. High Fashion and high fantasy, indeed!
