Can't believe that didn't break in the ground all these years. I had a member of my MD club find one of these just last week with the glass insert. I'd never seen or heard of one before, now two in one week - crazy. Supposidly the wives of soldiers that were off at war would collect their tears in the small vial for good luck.
 

That is so cool it's amazing that it survived intact. The guys down in the bottle forum would probably love to see this.

Very nice save!
 

Is that where the phrase "save your tears" comes from? In any event,great find!
 

is placed in a tomb, is not for everyday use. After the dead are sending to tears spilled, for there is no tears or something. It is symbolic
