My collection of antique vials that have come to play a vital role in satiating my imagination and creative soul. Since I can remember, I’ve always been lured to tiny vessels and bottles, and of course, their contents. Perfumes, exotic oils, liquid courage, philtres, and poisons— housed in something beautiful, a vessel so glorious that it makes the liquid inside that much more sacred. My affinity for the decorative arts and my lasting fascination of potions and poisons has always played into the magical recognition I place on vials. I find it poetically beautiful that poisons often come in the most precious of vessels. Although the bottles in my collection are meant to lay down, there is an active energy in their design by which they can not stand on their own— they long to be held and cherished, carried like a sacred object. Even their texture ensnares me as I run my fingers over the brilliant cut glass and understand I hold a treasure. Some I fill with my favorite scents and some with my favorite tinctures. They satisfy a part of me that longs for bygone eras, all the while carrying a piece of my imagination and, in turn, a piece of my heart. ✨ #poisonappleprintshop #antiquescentbottle #gorham #tiffanyandco #perfumebottle #vial #poisonbottle https://www.instagram.com/p/BubvVIZHyn-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1odk1kiuacbxp
