This sweet bud vase was assembled using an old bottle, reclaimed vintage brooch pieces, glass beads, wire, and a thin velvet ribbon. The bottle, long-exposed to the elements and found on a local bottle dig, shows physical signs of wear expected of an object extracted from the earth. The bottle is marked, “Castoria” and “Chas H. Fletchers” on each narrow side and dates to the late 1800’s. Bottle is 5.75” tall.
