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. Some bottles reveal a deeper, richer purple tone, while others retain a delicate, almost clear allure.
Among these unique pieces some bear raised wording including one bottle that reads, "G. Lemoine Paris", and another with the words, "Fig Syrup" and "California Fig Syrup Company San Francisco Cal" written on it. Still others include small fissures, occlusions, variations in thickness, and even trapped air bubbles. The unique attributes are hallmarks of the way the pieces were produced and their lifetime of use since their creation.
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
