Legend holds that Egyptians began creating ornate glass bottles to hold the tears of those grieving the death of a pharaoh. These tears, being so sacred, required an equally distinctive container. Over time, these bottles have found a happier purpose as perfume vessels. Known throughout the world for their shapes, design, and quality, Egyptian perfume bottles are sought out as perfect pieces of art. These bottles are hand blown in Egypt from the high quality pryex glass and accented with 24K gold etching and coloration at very high temperatures. Each bottle measures approximately 4 inches tall from the base to the top of the removable stopper. Functional or purely decorative, these bottles will hold an honored space in your home.
