Vintage White 1960s Cold Cream Jar Sterling Silver Filigree Teardrop Necklace

The Story of the Glass: Handmade in Pennsylvania

These unique items are handcrafted in Pennsylvania from reclaimed white milk glass cold cream jars that have been broken and repurposed. By giving new life to these discarded materials, we not only prevent them from ending up in landfills or harming wildlife, but also share the fascinating history behind each piece.

The glass used in these products has been carefully selected for its age and provenance. "The Story of the Glass" details the origins and age of the reclaimed materials, providing customers with a deeper appreciation for the vintage charm and environmental benefits of these one-of-a-kind creations.

Sourced from a variety of vintage and antique sources, the white milk glass used in these handmade pieces dates back decades, if not centuries. This durable and visually appealing material was once commonly used for cosmetic and pharmaceutical containers, but many of these jars and bottles have been discarded over time, creating a potential hazard for both the environment and local wildlife.

By upcycling these reclaimed glass items, we are not only giving them a new lease on life, but also preventing them from posing a risk to animals and ecosystems. The sharp edges of broken glass can easily cut or injure curious wildlife, and discarded containers can also trap or entangle small creatures. Our handmade products ensure that these vintage materials are repurposed in a thoughtful and responsible manner.

Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail, preserving the unique character and history of the original glass while transforming it into a beautiful and functional item. The variations in color, texture, and imperfections inherent in the reclaimed glass add to the charm and individuality of each creation, making them true one-of-a-kind treasures.

By choosing these handmade products, customers can enjoy the timeless beauty of vintage glass while also supporting sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. The story behind each piece provides a glimpse into the past, inviting the owner to imagine the countless hands and stories that have touched these materials over the years.

In a world increasingly focused on mass production and disposability, these handmade items offer a refreshing alternative – a chance to celebrate the enduring value of craftsmanship, the beauty of imperfection, and the importance of repurposing and preserving our shared cultural heritage.
