DescriptionThe iron structure consists of three parts, a bottom, middle and top component.
The iron structure holds 211 glass bottles. The bottles are currently numbered 1-208, with there being an A & B component to numbers 52, 54, and 198 to reach the total of 211 bottles. The bottles arrived with blue tape attached indicating their numbers. These three numbers had two bottles with the same number, so they were assigned an A & B differentiation. The bottles are now tagged when not on view because numbering the physical bottles is not possible based on their orientation during installation.
