Red Wine Crystals (KHC₄H₄O₆) Collector's Edition | Acrylic Desktop

from CHF 59.00

Description

This artwork features wine crystals formed through the crystallization of potassium bitartrate, a compound naturally present in wine.

Potassium Bitartrate

Chemical Formula: KHC₄H₄O₆

During wine storage, particularly at low temperatures, potassium bitartrate can crystallize and precipitate. In red wine, these crystals are naturally colored by anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for the wine's characteristic red color. Observed under polarized light microscopy, the crystals interact with light to reveal intricate geometric structures and vivid colors. The image presented is the result of a real chemical crystallization process. The artwork is printed on a premium acrylic desktop display designed for presentation on a desk, shelf, or interior space. The acrylic medium enhances the image's depth, contrast, and luminosity.

Specifications

  • Support: Premium acrylic desktop display with high-quality metal stand

  • Print: Ultra HD photographic reproduction

  • Available Sizes: Small / Medium / Large

  • Finish: Glossy acrylic

  • Technique: Chemical recrystallization observed under polarized light microscopy

  • Edition: Open Edition
