are offering a Give Away to 52 FLEA readers!

a mercury type...silvered bottle!
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.

Oh my, sweetness. Would love to win one! Thanks so much to all of you!
How Beautiful they are!!!! I have several areas that in my home......that can use a little bling!!! Love your blog....thanks for sharing!!!!
I have never seen anything like these before. They are beautiful! Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway!
Love those bottles!! Could you please include some sunshine, Indiana and the midwest are due for more snow this week, hurry SPRING!!
Interesting to note: the word "silver" in latin is argentum, and the root is argent, which means money. Breaking it further into arg (to shine) and ent (quality or made of), it means fully having the quality of shine.
And those bottles do a beautiful job of shining!
This beautiful bottle would feel right at home....at my Home!!! So glad that these were rescued and not broken by anyone not knowing their heritage.
I just love that bottle. If I felt brave, I might attempt to make a lamp out of it!!
I've been eyeing these bottles for a while now. Would look so pretty on a shelf at the beach cottage! Roberta
I have been admiring these bottles for awhile and would love to have one.
Thanks for the opportunity.
