Attributed to the Australian maker Valilo (circa 1990s), it’s crafted from a solid piece of lacquered hardwood and hand-painted with a traditional-style kangaroo and dot motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"magic\" of the piece is in the angle of the cut. When you slide a standard 750ml wine bottle neck-first into the hole, the combined center of gravity sits directly over the base. This allows the bottle to hover horizontally, creating a sturdy yet seemingly impossible balance. It’s a great conversation starter for a countertop or home bar and is signed \"Australia\" in gold script on the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e• Maker: Attributed to Valilo (Australia)\u003cbr\u003e• Year Made: circa 1990s\u003cbr\u003e• Materials: Lacquered Hardwood, Acrylic Paint\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensions: 12.5\" H x 2.25\" W x 2.25\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThe holder is in great shape with a high-gloss finish.
