It's probably pretty obvious that I have a preference for pink bottles!
I even thought about "just" collecting pink ones, but decided against it because it would limit me too much.
The overlay on this bottle is particularly well done. It's not overcut or undercut - it is flush with the bottle. The pink is transparent and like my dragon pink overlay this also has grit and bubbles in the overlay glass.
There is a second overlay color which is a brownish purplish color to outline the rocks under the tree.
The upside down bat holding the coin on a ribbon symbolizes "blessings before your eyes." The pine and rocks underneath it symbolize longevity - so it is a wish for blessings and long life!
I got one of those blessings today when I realized a bottle I have been wanting since I began collecting. It will be a couple of weeks before he gets here, but I will be sure to post it!
This one measures 6.3cm tall and has an agate stopper.
Hi there...racer was right! You must know something about these bottles. (I think she said you know a lot!)
I didn't copy the link but I just listed one of these about an hour ago and don't know much except that it is a snuff bottle. Would you be so kind as to take a peek at it for me and let me know what you think? You have some beautiful ones yourself! (This is the only one I have & I just got it the other day)
Thanks so much for your time. I've got to come back here to look at your collection, I'll probably learn more there than on the web. Too much contradicting info for me. ;)
Hi shareurpassion. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am a new collector, so am certainly not an expert! I looked at your bottle and will tell you what I know on your post. ;)
Thank you missy!
