Grand Finale Holiday Giveaway from Greyfreth Antiques

Star Cross Antique Bottle
 
Many know this photo well of Isabeau Grey's ethereal cross bottles at Greyfreth.  For the lucky person who wins this giveaway, Isa is going to remake the Antique starburst mercury glass bottle shown in the photos just for them. 
Approx 16" tall and valued at $525
The mercury glass bottle is a rare antique from the late 1800s.  it is NOT one of the reproductions that are out now at Pottery Barn, etc.



Collection of Star Cross Antique Bottles


Held fast by rustic solder in weathered and timeworn hues, fiery mufti-faceted icicles of leaded crystal form a large starburst southern cross. Crowning a rare, apothecary relic of antique, wavy mercury glass that has been beautifully patinaed over time, this very special cross bottle is a breathtaking display of crystal and antique mercury glass. Draped around the neck of the bottle will be a graceful and beautiful embellishment similar to the one shown in the photo.





The Winner can contact Isa to choose a color and style from the Antique Rosaries she has on hand.


To enter for this amazing Holiday Giveaway open Internationally please

1) Go to Isa's blog Greyfreth.blogspot.com and become a follower OR Go to her Facebook page to Like her, then come back and comment that you have!! Make sure we have a way to reach you!

The winner will be chosen on Friday Midnight EST on December 23rd. This will be a fabulous Gift to arrive for the New year!!
