No one know exactly how or when tear bottles came about, but they have been used at least since the time of King David, as referred in the Old Testament. Mourners have used small glass bottles to catch their tears and place them in tombs, or given them to family members as a sign of respect. Soldiers going off to war would leave hand picked bottles with their loved ones to determine their love and devotion. --- There is further info on the ancient Egyptians, Victorian and civil war tear bottles.
The history comes on a 2 sided card with a poem about tear bottles written by Frank Dempster Sherman.
