Thrifty Finds: Vintage Glass Bottle Stoppers
I was on the way to the grocery store when I spotted a Barn Sale sign. Can you hear the screeching tires? I’m kidding sort of. I decided to check it out. I came upon a bag of antique glass bottle stoppers for $20. I had no idea how much bottle stoppers were even worth, but I thought they were pretty. They reminded me of sea glass, so I bought them.
There were small ones and tall ones. There were monogrammed ones and there were ones with writing on them. Some looked like they were from apothecary jars and some looked like they may have been for perfume and wine decanters. I looked on Ebay and Etsy to see if they were worth anything and it turns out that sellers are getting around $10 for a vintage bottle stopper. I was completely surprised, but now I have a decision to make. Should I keep them or sell them? That is the question.
Well until I decide the fate of these glass stoppers, they will serve as filler for a glass candle holder.
I just might have to keep them.

OMG, keep them! If you sell those it will haunt you the rest of your life. These are fabulous. If you are going to sell them contact me first.

Keep them! They are stunning and so much could be done with them!
I love them displayed. What a unique collection-I’d hang on to them!
Wow! What a fabulous find! Maybe they’d work as ornaments on a tree that catches the sunlight. So pretty!!!!
I think they are stunning! I would keep them. The way you laid them out in the first photo they look like a wreath! I can see them hanging in a window also. Just gorgeous!

I would have had angina, kid you not. Love them , collect them, and that many would have made me crazy happy. Beautiful in glass.
Now, if I saw this in person, it would stop me in my tracks! (Stoppers – get it?) Seriously, this is amazing. Very unique and I’m sure it’s kind of sparkly in person!
What talent!
What a treasure you stumbled upon! I hope that you keep them; they are marvelous beyond words.
What a marvelous find! They are so pretty! I would keep them and find the many ways you can be creative with them!

Most certainly keep these! Great find 🙂
Great found! Do you sell some of them? I am looking for some and maybe you have the right one for me.
Do you want me to buy one or two?
hugs, Susanne
Could I please buy the white one and a very small clear or pale pink one?
