photo from their Etsy shop
Paula and Jennifer found these bottles at
Round Top in Texas and purchased them for their shop
from John Norton of Industrial Age Antiques.
These silvered bottles, looking much like mercury glass, are from the 1920's and came out of a now defunct textile mill in the south.
Each one is different...some very shiny and silvery and some with darker and more mottled pewtery tones.
I bought my own silvered bottle
the August before last from John
at the Madison Bouckville Antique Show in New York
The above photo of these wonderful silvery bottles was taken
at Renninger's Extravaganza in Florida a few weeks ago.

Unbelievable! These bottles are absolutely amazing. I recently started following this blog and when I saw these, I had an episode! They are everything I want and more:
Glass? Yep!
Silvered? Of course!
Mercury glass? Heck yeah!
Vintage? Even better!
Just seeing these is fantastic, but to give one away is beyond amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Wonderful bottles - I'm not sure if I'm eligible to enter as I live in the UK but if I am please pop my name into the draw!
Love the bottles. I think they're so beautful in the crates also.

What a great giveaway - The bottles have a beautiful silvery shimmer! So pretty!
What a lovely blog .. i have book-marked it and will return often. And i think i 'linked' it to my "OH SILLY ME" blogsite. I would adore being entered into the drawing to possibly win one of these lovelies. What a dear thing for you to do.
These beautiful silvery bottles remind me of a little poem I wrote many years ago when my grand-daughter was a small child. (She is now grown with a child of her own). We had many, many tea parties .. often celebrating birthdays of friends and other memorable celebrations in their lives.
We lived in a cottage tucked into the woods along a river. There are fairies who dwell there ... still!
The name of our home was 'CROOKED TREE HOLLOW'.
The closing moments of every tea party always had this ritual:
The girls would gather in a circle, hold hands and close their eyes. I would tell them that the fairies always watch and listen to them when they come to a Tea Party. I would point out the big olde 'CROOKED TREE' in a HOLLOW at the edge of the woods where the fairies lived. After each tea party, they would fly back to their 'tree-home' .. and excitedly tell each other of the days events ... of friendships formed ... of laughter ... and of kindnesses they observed.
I would then tell the little girls that many years later they may be sitting with their moms or a friend who had come to the party so many years ago .. or they might even be telling their own children this very story ... and SUDDENLY ... they may catch a glimpse of a silvery light and if they look quickly, they will see a tiny fairie swinging from a thread of their hair. or feel a teeeeeeny tickle or whisper of the wind in their ear .. and they would .. remember! For THIS was the 'memory keeper fairies' returning to remind them of such a happy day of their childhood.
I would then open a beautiful antique glass vial filled with 'silver-dust' gathered from the wings of these very fairies .. and ask them to bow their heads and close their eyes ... and i would sprinkle it gently over their heads as i told them this little poem:
"STAR-DUST OF SILVER ...
MOON-BEAMS OF GOLD ...
SPUN BY THE FAIRIE-FOLK ...
FROM STORIES OFTEN TOLD.
THEY LIVE IN THE 'HOLLOW' ...
OF AN OLDE 'CROOKED TREE ...
FOR THE 'STAR-DUST' OF MEMORIES ...
IS MAGIC . YOU SEE!"

Hello my dear,
I've spent some time catching up here in your beautiful space, from antique letters, pen nibs, silver bottles, and you caring for your mother. I do hope she is better now and that you are all enjoying this extra time together in joy and much laughter.
