The Tear Bottle tradition has endured for nearly 3000 years.
During ancient Roman times, mourners captured their tears
and buried them with loved ones to show affection and respect.
Tear Bottles reappeared during the 19th-century Victorian Era,
when mourners collected their tears in long cylindrical vials or
small bottles decorated with silver and pewter. Bereavement
would end when the tears had evaporated, but the bottle remained
as a token of eternal devotion.
The book and movie "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"
introduced the Tear Bottle to the women of the 21st. century,
where today Tear Bottles are used to express many sentiments,
from joy at a wedding, birthday or anniversary, to heartache upon
the splintering of a relationship, news of an illness, or loss of a
loved one.
