VIRRND

Approximate Overall Height: 13.25"

Our "Virginia" cross is aptly named after someone incredibly inspirational to Cross Bottle Guy, and the prime motivator to the "Harbour Collection", my mother. The "Harbour Collection" was given that name after my stepfather who tragically lost his battle with cancer in 2012. During the daily struggle, my mother's strength and wisdom grew ever more inspiring, and led to the creation of one our most beautiful works.
Faceted teardrop crystals of two degrees pair up with multiple octagonal crystals of varied size to create an overall stunning masterclass work, that we find almost as beautiful and inspiring as Virginia. Finished in our signature mercerized rust patina, and married forever to an antique pharmacy bottle with wonderful movement and disturbed clarity, a patina picked up from nearly a century of being untouched beneath the soil. An artful and archaic juxtaposition of rough and refined.  

Authentically Handmade. Unique. One of a Kind. Art.+

Sorry. I've been purchased for a private collection.

Here's an oldy but a goody. Comprised of our large, French pendalogue crystals in their unique leaf shape, and accented by our Russian octagonal and German square prisms, this four point large cross is more stunning and impressive in person than photos could ever capture, and can be the center of a collection, or a wonderful bottle to stand alone. 

Hand polished and chiseled crystals seem to float within the strong confines of our hand hewn solder, dancing within the light and refracting those beams of sunshine. A wonderful way to help usher in the longer days of spring and summer! Finished in our signature mercerized rust patina, and joined forever to another rare *poison* bottle with a label that is wonderfully in tact. 

The label includes directions to disinfect a "sick room", minor wounds, cuts, and bruises, and individual hygiene; as well as use during a baby's birth. Along with a poison warning. These bottles are incredibly rare as they were often destroyed after they were emptied. The face label of the bottle reads:
