Approximate Overall Height: 17.25"
 
These stunning and brilliantly refractive ivy leaf prisms are a favorite of ours, and are rather difficult to come by. Hand chiseled and polished in the bohemian method, these large crystals come together with our fiery Russian octagonal crystals in two sizes to create this one of a kind cross we have named after a special friend to Cross Bottle Guy, Michael. Inspired by our work, his kind words of encouragement have lead to some of our new cross bottle designs for 2016, including the Angel Wreath. Good friends are special, and hard to find. So we found it fitting to name this bottle, equally as rare and special, after him.
 
Married with rough-hewn rough solder finished in our signature mercerized rust patina, this crystal cross is matched in beauty only by the well-aged vessel it forever seals. This antique aqua witch hazel bottle dates back to 1846, and has an ethereal inner patina. A mix of cloudy whites and grays, dusty chocolates and warm ambers all mix inside of this aqua blue bottle with a wonderful exterior sheen of iridescence when held to the light.
 
A wonderful piece of Cross Bottle Guy handmade art, that is sure to be the centerpiece to any well curated collection of our authentic work. This bottle is embossed. It is embossed to read:
 
"POND'S EXTRACT"
 
Authentically Handmade. Unique. One of a Kind. Art.
 
Sorry. I've been purchased for a private collection.
