The smallest bottles is a fabulous vintage Carter's ink bottle. It's embossed on the bottom with the words CARTER'S and the number 78. The bottle has a great patina that has that mother of pearl look. It reflects light beautifully. I've added a tan knobby starfish to the top of this bottle. Finished the bottle with silver leaf paint and natural jute.
The next tallest bottle is a vintage medicine bottle. It probably held cough syrup at one time. This bottle has a nice patina as well and lots of age. It was originally a cork-top bottle. There are no markings on this bottle besides the number 13 on the bottom. I've added a pretty pink sea urchin to the top of this bottle. This sea urchin is a number of shades of pink...so pretty! I've finished this bottle with silver leaf paint and natural jute.
The tallest bottle is a square and unique bottle which has a cloudy patina as well. The only markings on this bottle are B22 on the bottom. This bottle was also a cork-top bottle. I've added a red sea fan to the top and finished the bottle with silver leaf paint and natural jute.
All of these bottles date in the early 1900s. I always clean my bottles. Any residue is there to stay because of age, which gives them even more character. They look beautiful together displaying on a mantel, shelf or table top.
