Large glass bottles with corks

Bottles can be both practical and decorative. Perhaps you save attractive bottles once they are empty, or perhaps you collect bottles made especially to be displayed. Either way, they are a nice decorative touch in a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or living-room. When placed on a window sill, sunlight passes through them, creating beautiful colored patterns in the room and changing its entire atmosphere. Not bad for a simple glass container.

I like these – somehow there’s something retro about them:

Of course, decorative bottles can also be used to hold liquids. Some people like to keep their oils in such bottles.

Colored glass bottles with corks

Colored bottles can really be beautiful in a kitchen or in any other room. Depending on their size and on the types of caps they have, colored bottles can either be used to hold flowers, spices, oils, and a variety of other things, or they can be used empty, strictly as decorative items. When placed on a window sill, sunlight comes through the colored glass, an the effect can be quite striking.

How cute are these? I love ’em:

After glass stoppers, cork is arguably the most attractive type of bottle cap.

Decorative glass bottles with corks

Once in a while, you come across a product that is sold in a bottle so attractive, that you keep it as a decorative item once the bottle is empty. It can be placed on a window sill, so that sunlight can shine through it (this is especially attractive when using colored bottles), or it can be refilled and used in both a decorative and practical manner. Some even use them in “bottle trees”.

You gotta love these examples – I know I do:

These types of colored, nicely shaped bottles can also be bought empty, giving you a greater choice of shapes and colors than bottled products would. Be careful when ordering on line: check the bottle’s dimensions carefully. Some bottle may be much smaller than they appear in a photograph.
