Any Drink Called For. Arizona, Signature Pieces, ca. 2002. An empty spirit bottle is placed, upside down, into a spigot resting inside a handsome wooden cabinet. A glass is then filled from the empty bottle –with virtually any libation – alcoholic or otherwise – that is asked for. Further drinks are mysteriously produced from the empty bottle at will, and in any order requested by the spectators, and of virtually any type. Handsome cabinet finely constructed from hardwood with fine inlaid accents. One of two units manufactured. Cabinet 14 x 13 x 23” (closed). Minor scuffing to exterior; very good.
