Vintage French wine bottle engraved with “Société Dauphinoise,” lit from within and held upright by a corking device with red lever

Société Dauphinoise en Verre

A French wine bottle, likely hand-blown and dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, is lit from within by a slender LED strip. The bottle is held firmly in place by a vintage corking device, its red lever tilted upward like a frozen gesture. Sandblasted into the green glass is the name “Société Dauphinoise,” a reference to the historic province of Dauphiné—a region that once encompassed what is now the department of Isère, along with Drôme and Hautes-Alpes. Though the name Dauphiné is no longer used in modern administrative geography, its presence here signals both a place and a time. What once marked origin and commerce now becomes part of a composed silhouette—structured, upright, and quietly luminous.
