Wine aficionados and fans of spooky home decor are in a for a special treat: A blown glass carafe that looks like a web of human veins can now be the centerpiece of your liquor cabinet. The clever, eye-catching container mimics the flow of blood when red (or sparkling pink) liquid is poured down its branching tubes.

Etienne Meneau is the mind behind the wine holder, naming her intravenous sculptures Strange Carafes. Fragile yet capable of freely standing on their own, the vessels come in a variety of forms—from forked, linear designs to twisty masses of rounded tubes.
