Add a touch of history and elegance to your home with this 8.3x10.3x3 clear shadow box. This exquisite piece of sea glass art, was meticulously crafted from genuine historic glass recovered from Lake Champlain, Vermont. Each fragment tells a story of its own, having begun its life in the 19th century as an everyday object (a bottle, a dish, or a vessel) shaped by human hands and later reshaped by the gentle touch of water and time.
This stunning anchor, assembled with precision and care, is a testament to the beauty of age, use, and survival. The fragments are not reproductions or decorative glass, but authentic artifacts of ordinary lives once lived along the shore. Preserved rather than perfected, each piece carries the quiet beauty of a bygone era.
The collection includes:
- A Bottle Lip Applied blob bottle finish fragment, hand-blown olive green glass, mid-19th century (circa 1845-1875), likely from a wine or spirits bottle used in Lake Champlain taverns and trade routes.
- A Pressed Glass fragment, olive green glass, late 19th century (circa 1860-1900), likely from a serving dish used in everyday domestic life along Lake Champlain.
- A hand-blown bottle piece used for beer or mineral water in the late 19th century. Its olive-green color, thick glass, and applied hand-finished feature reflect early glassmaking techniques. (circa 1870–1895)
