Wooden ... morescrew on handle shows signs of wear and tear, as does the center bottom of the item. The rest appears to be in fairly good condition, just needs to be polished up a bit. I've seen several people identifying the animal on the top as a horse, but if you look at the tongue, the hindquarters, and the tail, one can see that is clearly some sort of mythical animal. I believe that the design below the creature is a stylized representation of the sea. Please refer to pictures for more details. Measures approximately 10.25 in long, 6 in across, and 2 in tall.

antique Victorian MOURNING TEAR CATCHER lachrymatory Glass VIAL w ORIG Stopper
Offered for auction is an old Victorian glass vial with its original stopper. These are called lachrymatories or tear catchers. From what I've researched there are several stories to go along with these. The most common one is during the Victorian era. At a more upscale funeral these vials were handed out to save the tears you've shed for the deceased. When the tears are collected in the vial, the stopper would be put in. Once the tears completely evaporated meant the end of the mourning period. This vial is found in great condition with no chips or cracks. It measures 7" with the stopper. 6 3/4" without. Some of the gold guild is gone, and some faded. The stopper is original to this vial. It looks like the end of it is a bit rough, it may have a small piece broken off. Two sides of this vial have x's that are etched ... morein and trimmed in gold. Also on those same sides in-between the x's are indentions for your fingers. Please check out all my photos, they do the best job of describing. Always more photos upon request. Feel free to ask questions, preferably before bidding. Payment is expected within 3 days of the auctions end. I offer FREE SHIPPING.so please take that into consideration when bidding. I will ship same day as payment if time permits.

Cut and decorated with gilt SOLD AS IS AIR MAIL SHIPPING $25 Tear Bottles Past A Brief History The Ancient Times T he first documented reference to collecting tears in a bottle appears in the Old Testament of the Bible. David prays to God. Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my tears in Thy bottle are they not in Thy Book? Psalm 56:8(KJV) David wrote this passage approximately 1,020 years before the birth of Christ. These words reminded God's people that He keeps a record of all human pain and suffering. He understands each tear that is shed. The Roman Era Around 100 A.D. tomb raiders plundered large quantities of small bottles. Which may have given ... morerise to the belief that the bottles were a part of the mourning ritual. They were found mostly among the nobility and Egyptian pharaohs. The supposition was that mourners would shed tears into the bottles as a sign of honor. Some even infer that"professional" mourners were compensated for attending the funerals of the wealthy to fill the lachrymal while weeping loudly, creating an impressive impact on those in attendance. Glass blowing became prevalent during this period, only to be lost during the Dark Ages and uncovered again in the Victorian Era. The Victorian Era The Victorian Era of the United Kingdom is commonly used to refer to the period of Queen Victoria's rule between 1837 and 1901. It marked the height of the British Industrial Revolution and the apex of the British Empire. During this time in history mourners would collect their tears in bottles with special stoppers. The eventual evaporation of the tears signified the end of the mourning period. The special bottle remained as a token of remembrance and eternal devotion. Across the Atlantic. The United States had engaged in a Civil War, which was to become one of the bloodiest wars in American Histor

When those mourning the loss of loved ones would collect their tears ... morein bottles with special stoppers that allowed the tears to evaporate. When the tears had evaporated, the mourning period would end. In some American Civil War stories. Women were said to have cried into tear bottles and saved them until their husbands returned from battle. Their collected tears would show the men how much they were adored and missed. The tear bottle tradition has historically been a mourning tradition. Only in contemporary times have tears of joy and inspiration been captured. In current music and literature.

Victorian tear catcher or lachrymatory bottle handblown gilded glass 6.5" Oddity
6.5" long tear catcher vial. Has one very small chip in the lip. Has some dirt on inside of vial. Bottom crudely ground but polished. Main body features four divets on two of the sides for better thumb and forefinger grip. The two sides with grips also have three Xs per that are gilded. A lot of the gold has rubbed off. The stopper area looks like the inside was ground but not polished in two areas. The only reason I can think this was done was to add better grip for the cork.

Victorian blown glass lachrymatory mourning tear catcher W/DAUBER! EXC COND!
Up for auction is a stunning gorgeous Victorian-era tear catcher. Also called a lachrymatory. From Wikipedia: A lacrymatory[lachrymatory is] a small vessel of terracotta or glass found in Roman and late Greek tombs. Thought to have been used to collect the tears of mourners at funerals. This tear catcher is in fabulous condition. The dauber or stopper is in perfect original condition. The vial was hand blown and twisted. Flat spots were ground into the surface to accommodate the decorations. It was then adorned with thin stringers of melted glass to make decorative dots on the surface in orange. Yellow, white and blue. The bottom was ground to smooth the spot where the vial was initially connected to a long glass rod during the lampworking process. There is slight damage as follows: The gold paint shows minor wear. There are two small chips ... moreon the top surface of the neck that are in such strange spots that I wonder if the spots were intentionally ground by the craftsperson. Ostensibly to help the tears flow into the vial. One of the spots is 1/16" in diameter, the other is 2mm. The stopper/dauber is 2 3/4" long. The vial is 11/16" wide and 6 3/8" long. 6 7/8" with the stopper in place. Bid with confidence. This one is a beauty! Shipping for this item includes insurance and tracking. The tear catcher will be carefully double boxed to ensure it arrives safely. I ship worldwide and at the lowest possible cost while still making sure the item is securely packed.

lachrymatory tear catcher mourning Victorian perfume bottle vial hand painted
This auction is for a beautiful and rare Victorian tear catcher. The pictures don't do justice to the beautiful color. When you hold it up to the light. The blue color is nothing short of awesome looking. Many people collect tear catchers. Which aren't that plentiful because being made of glass, many of them have broken. Their history from the Civil War era is steeped in romanticism. When a soldier left to go to war. He would give his wife or girlfriend a tear catcher, which she would fill with her tears to show how much she missed him upon his safe return. If he was killed in the war, the tear catcher would be buried with him, if possible, or passed down through the family as an heirloom. The length is 6.5 inches. A stopper is not included. Please feel free to ask any questions. I highly recommend adding insurance which would cost ... more$2.30 for up to $100.00 in value and $3.35 for up to $200.00 in value.
