Hovde Park Home invites you to discover a set of eight mesmerizing antique glass bottles, each telling its own story through varying shades of purple color. Ranging in size from a petite 2.5" to an elegant 7.25", these bottles showcase an array of purple hues. Some bottles reveal a deeper, richer purple tone, while others retain a delicate, almost clear allure.
Among these unique pieces is an old liquor bottle marked "Paul Friedman San Francisco." Despite a crack in its upper half, this bottle maintains its striking presence, adding character to the collection.
Understanding the science behind their purple hue adds to their allure. Manganese, a chemical element found in the mineral ore pyrolusite, has a storied history in glassmaking.
The fascinating transformation of clear glass into purple occurs when manganese oxidizes upon exposure to sunlight or UV radiation. Glass containing manganese, if exposed, develops the enchanting purple hue, a testament to the passage of time and exposure to light.
Each of these antique glass bottles captures not just the beauty of its hue but the journey of manganese and light, rendering them not just vessels, but stories frozen in time. less
