Perfume Bottles

Perfume Bottles These miniature lampwork perfume bottles are made using the same method as making a bead, except that I use a hollow stainless steel tube so that I can blow into the lump of glass that is wound around the end of this tube to inflate it into a small bottle At right is a picture of me blowing into the hollow tube to inflate a lump of the molten glass that I have wound around the mandrel. Boy you should have seen me doing this in the beginning! You have to take little tiny puffs of air into the tube to inflate the glass and if you blow too hard, then you blow a hole in the side of the bubble. I blew lots of holes in the glass when I first started. I have gotten much better at this.
It’s great to place lots of dots, swirls and rings on the small lump of molten glass and then watch the pattern spread out as the glass expands. These are so much fun to make. Each one comes with a glass stopper. You can use them for perfume, essential oils or bath salts. They are pretty to just sit on a shelf as decoration. I have had many perfume bottle collectors buy them to add to their collections. Each one is unique and one-of-a-kind, so they make nice collectibles. Each individual bottle comes packaged in a hand-made Pyramid Box with blue sparkly angels stamped on all sides and a blue ribbon closure. The box protects the bottle during shipping, and is a beautiful gift-wrap presentation too. Check back often, as I will be adding new pieces each week. Click on an image to enlarge and see detail
