Up for sale is a 25 piece collection of EARLY 1900'S VINTAGE GLASS, MEDICINE, WHISKEY, CANNING, COSMETIC & OTHER BOTTLES to brighten and energize any space. I acquired this collection from an artist in Sarasota, Florida ten years ago. The history shared with me is that most of the bottles were salvaged and collected from their sea journey along Florida beaches before styrofoam and aluminum cans came to litter the environment. And before they were crushed by ages of crashing waves and ocean travel into popular "sea glass". Ever wonder what someone 100 years down the road will pick up from our beaches and think it was worth saving? Doubtful that plastic water bottles will become an antique, but you never know. These bottles are perfect for home, office, day spa, progressive nursing home, public library, bookstore, business, retail window display, restaurant, interior design or educational or cultural project. Have a contest to guess the bottle's past lives, invite your grandparents and their friends to give a history lesson. Get creative. Many images are included for you in this listing detailing size, markings, color, etc. One of the bottles in some photos is not included as it was broken. So it is not on the list. These "Time in a Bottle" collectibles are in good condition considering their age and only a few have chips in the top. The various sizes and colors also make beautiful window decorations for home or business. You can feel a kind of energy holding them that connects you with the past, a different time, a different world. Some of the bottles are frosted or iridescent from the weathering they endured and the colors include: Amber, Aqua/Teal Blue, Amethyst, and Clear.

Thought you might appreciate this interesting information. "Sea glass may be something of an endangered commodity. In the 1960s, plastic began to replace glass in many consumer products; the 1970s recycling movement shamed citizens out of littering. Beaches are being rebuilt with imported sand that has no old glass fragments in it. Rising water levels are burying stocks of sea glass. In many areas, the supplies of old sea glass are vanishing. The green, brown and clear bottles of today will predominate the supply in 20 or 30 years, but in smaller numbers." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_glass "Like gathering shells or stones, collecting sea glass is a hobby among beach-goers and beachcombers, and many enjoy filling decorative jars or making jewelry from their finds. Generally, the sea glass has local origins; glass found in a particular location generally would have begun its transformation within the immediate vicinity. This is not always the case—some beaches have a much higher rate of transitory particulates, in which case beach glass particles may travel for several miles. It is rare for sea glass to have traveled farther than this. Sea glass (or beach glass) is glass found on beaches along oceans or large lakes that has been tumbled and smoothed by the water and sand, creating small pieces of smooth, frosted glass. Sea glass originates from bottles and jars that enter the water as litter and become broken up by the waves and rocks. Green, clear, brown, and amber beach glass is common (consider the most common colors of beer-bottles), though light blues, yellows and pink varieties have also been known to appear. Much more rare are grey, purple, bright red, and the black varieties[1]. Red sea glass is found only once for every 5,000 pieces found, while the rarest of all seaglass, orange, can be found about once every 10,000 pieces. "Black" sea glass is rarely found and often originates from pre-1860 glass that is actually dark olive green. Some black sea glass is found around Australia, originating from 1940s beer bottles. Its rarity is due to the obscure materials that were used with glass to make the bottles, which increased its rate of decomposition.Sea glass is one of the very few objects made valuable by the actions of the environment on man-made litter." Amethyst glass was often originally white, but due to a chemical substitution in the glass made during the WWI era, the glass has turned purple after prolonged contact with the sun's UV rays. Aqua Blue sea glass pieces usually orginate from vintage canning jars, seltzer bottles or electrical insulators. Place a Bid!
