So romantic...a tiny glass flask, washed up on the sand, its edges worn and softened by years in the tumbling surf. A slightly tattered label: "escape", a weathered antique key, a rusty heart...and one perfect beach pebble for its topper.
Pebble is glittery pale granite, not attached, to you may add a message or a photo.
Glass is clear, with weathering on the edges. Authentically found on my beach, cleaned, upcycled. I added the beautiful old weathered key, the rusty heart. The tattered label with its tantalizing message Escape....
The little botle is about the size of the palm of your hand..5 1/2" tall, x 2 3/4" wide. Volume is one quarter pint, 1/2 cup liquid.
Only marking is a small 20 on base, probably a tiny whiskey bottle?
Other seaglass bottles:
This set will be listed Friday....
The bottles are all shades of pale blue and aqua....
This set is "purple-ing" in my window sunshine, already has become a deeper amethyst. Not for sale yet....
A just-for-fun Beach Dreams memory bottle, below. This one is a found and quite weathered seaglass Corona bottle, recycled with labels, tags, and treasures [shells, beads etc] and filled with white sand and beach treasure. These are wonderful for souvenirs of happy summer days, kids heading off to college love them!
A gorgeous old hexagonal patent medicine bottle and rare pink scallop shell...
A large rum bottle, specially made for a young guy who brought me his beachcombed bottle/ treasure to fill!

Aloha,
ReplyDeleteDid the Escape bottle already sell?
I wish we had great glass treasures washing up on our beach. I've decided it's all the lava rock and that things get smashed against them before they can get to the beach.
We only get partial shells, too.
Hope all is well with you. Please let me know about the bottle if you have time.
Aloha,
Hunter

Hi Hunter! I think parts of hawaii, maybe not Maui, have great beach glass. I ve seen it for sale on eBay...and of course there s the famous Plastic Beach on the Big Island where the sand is now all plastic! Plus some glass and in the pix lots of other treasures...I'd love to beachcomb there!
