Amethysts Bottles

Before a bottle is purpled (earlier post), it is clear with a tinge of pink at its base.  In sunlight, the pink turns to amethysts. Exposure to sunlight is slower than the artificial, accelerated process. Before a window standing solitary or en-masse, amethysts-colored bottles have allot of 'shelf time' as these decorative pieces gradually blush! Glass artist

Purpled Bottles

I love collecting & photographing purpled, antique bottles! These 90 + year old bottles are hand-blown.  Clear bottles with a tinge of pink at its base, over time turn amethysts in sunlight. Accelerate this process with x-ray or gamma-ray(?) & you have purpled glass! Glass artist

Glassartiste's Prince Matchabelli Presentation

Glassartiste's Prince Matchabelli Presentation has a stately air.  The Glass Artist collects them in antique shops & flea markets. Perfume bottles & a glass shelf upon a wall is regal accents. A Prince Matchabelli Collection takes time to mature, but its presentation adorns a woman's vanity & her youth - a project that is so much fun to realize!  Each bottle is a 'find' from a 'hunt' that takes one to & fro the kingdom. Glass artist
