Who cares for a bottle, except to make sure it goes into the recycling box when empty... And yet... this simple, discreet item changed our life in many ways. It's common place these days to rush to the store next door for a milk bottle ; we forget that only half a century ago ladies needed to bring their container to the milk wagon every morning to have it filled. What would Hockey Night be without the indispensable bottle of beer , and the minute we see a champagne bottle all kinds of celebrations come to mind. A bottle reflects the purpose it serves, and when it comes to perfume they can transform into real pieces of art; carved and shaped in the most unusual shapes. To a point that sometimes we're not so much attracted by the smell but rather by the jewel like perfume bottle . Bottles come in many forms and they have many uses, all closely linked to our daily life. Do we have sore muscles... we'll quickly take out that old hot water bottle we got from Mom. Are the living room plants looking wan... we'll swiftly look for that spray bottle to water them. And let's not forget the artists, who once choose clear glass bottles to preserve the memory of the tall ships of the past.
