Pewter Bottle


Just got some more stock in, so I am getting all the shot's done for the web site. Gosh, it's hard work to get that right shot.

I love pewter bottles. This would be great on a dressing table, if only I had one!! The flower stopper is so gorgeous. I had to show it to you before I up loaded the pictures on to The Feathered Nest website, hope you like it.

I was looking at the history of the pewter bottle. It dates back thousands of years; the ancient Egyptians used them to hold many different things. One use was known as 'Tears of Sorrow'. The mourners would use the bottle to catch their tears, which would then be buried with the deceased as a mark of honour and devotion. How respectful and loving is that!!
