Cava chimneys

The trencadis work on these eight chimneys was done using broken cava (like Catalan champagne) bottles. Legend has it that they were bottles used at the house's inauguration party.

Another set of chimneys that I just loved:

you have the bottle green nicely, but suspect that the bottles were from a later binge as Gaudi only took the commission as his client was very devout

It must have been a big party. I like the few intact bottle necks sticking up. V
