The blue agave core has leaf bases which each look like a rhombus (squished square), not a hexagon.

Some of the upper leaves of the core could be left attached to the upper portion of the core. The lower 3/4 of the core would be grasp-able, so as to enable easy removal of the attached ground glass stopper ("cork").

Above the ground glass "cork" could be a solid frustrum cone, big side up, with a representation of leaves in bas relief around the frustum, kind of like a crown. This would be grasp-able, and manufacturable, and safer than a bunch of breakable glass shard leaves, with less liability.

As an alternative to Michael's Flow method for creating the curves leaf shape, you could also Boolean intersect the leaf shape and a curve, like this:
