These full-lead crystal vintage bull & bear wine stoppers make a fantastic conversation piece. All have the original Mikasa stickers still attached. Both Mikasa crystal wine stoppers are very heavy, substantial, and of very high quality. These wine stoppers are no longer made by Mikasa and are becoming difficult to find.

It is said that the Bull and Bear expressions were first explained in 1775 in the book “Every Man His Own Broker” by Thomas Mortimer. At that time a Bull was someone that was long a stock and could be seen running up and down “Exchange Alley” (London’s version of Wall Street at the time) looking to get the best price. A Bear was someone that was short a stock and was calmer, quietly waiting for the stock price to drop.
