Tear Bottles are symbolic gifts of love, joy, sorrow and remembrance. The captivating tear bottle tradition dates back nearly 3,000 years, when mourners were known to collect their tears in a lachrymatory and bury them with loved ones to express honor and devotion. Today, they are given to show joy and delight at a wedding, the birth of a child or convey love and admiration. They are a fitting sympathy gift. All bottles are made in the USA and are shipped with an organza gift bag and legend card.
