Tear Bottles
By Timeless Traditions Inc.
In the Old Testament of the Bible, the notion of collecting tears in a bottle appears in Psalm 56:8 when David prays to God, “Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my tears in Thy bottle; are they not in Thy Book?” David’s words remind us that God keeps a record of human pain and suffering and always remembers our sorrows.
Tear bottles reappeared during the Victorian period of the 19th century, when those mourning the loss of loved ones would collect their tears in bottles ornately decorated with silver and pewter. The mourning period would end when the tears evaporated from the bottle.
Tear bottles today are given to symbolize joy and love for others’ important rites of passage. Births, adoptions, graduations, and weddings are occasions where a lasting gift like a beautiful tear bottle will surprise and delight loved ones. During times of sadness, such as illness or death, a tear bottle or lachrymatory is especially meaningful and can express deep sympathy to loved ones. Some choose to use the bottles; others give them as purely symbolic gifts.
Timeless Traditions© uses only high quality materials and craftsmanship for the production of their tear bottles. The high-quality glass bottles are uniquely encased with metalwork and finished in gold plate, nickel silver, pewter and brass in the U.S.A. These wonderful treasures are between 1 3/4" to 2" tall. Each tear bottle includes a beautiful free organza gift bag and story card that explains the ancient tear bottle tradition. These treasures can also be used as keepsake urns.
