We do ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.

We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time. Judging from this bottle's LARGE size and highly decorative presence, I believe this was a 'dresser' bottle, a bottle that a woman kept on top of her dresser and used to dispense the lotion, much like a decorative hand lotion bottle today is used on the counter of a bathroom. This is a true ORIGINAL antique bottle dating WELL OVER 100 years old. About the beautiful deep amethyst color ...you hear about old glass turning purple in the sunlight ... The beautiful purple amethyst color of this bottle is the result of being made with manganese in the glass, a mineral that was pulverized and added to vats of molten liquid glass that acted as a decolorizing agent to turn the naturally aqua-tinted glass into a pure crystal clear colorless glass. Then later, exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun or other sources of UV rays, triggers a chemical reaction and the manganese oxidizes and turns a wonderful amethyst color. With few exceptions, only glass made before 1914 will turn purple. Not only does this deep purple/amethyst color make this a great looking bottle, but it also authenticates it as being truly antique. THIS really is a spectacular looking bottle, check it out!Terms of Sale: Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
