Interesting Smallish Containers

[Jen P.]

I was looking for those spire type containers on eBay under alcohol bottles and found a bunch of cool containers. I am not sure they could work for lava lamps, as you would probably have to put an external heat source and the containers might be too small. I'm going to list them below just in case anyone wants to look.

OK, some of these are perhaps a little geeky, and there are probably more, but I am getting too tired to finish going through them all. Also, there might be repeats of the same container. If there's anything fabulous that I later find, I will add it then.

I hope this didn't waste anyone's time, but I really like some of these. They would look great with some glitter or goo, but don't really know if any of these might be feasible to use or not. I do apologize if anyone thinks I am whacked. Sorry, but I am whacked.

Cheers,

ha ha I've got the Kangaroo!

[Modulo '70]

I think they're quite charming

Hi Jerome,

Nice to hear from you.

I LOVE the kangaroo. Do you just have it with alcohol in it or did you do some sort of custom job with it somehow?

Thanks for the nice comments - at least someone doesn't think I am completely whacked!

Have a good one.

Cheers,

Jen P.

No probs Jen, nice to see someone else who is 'actually here' at the moment!

I picked up the cute Kangaroo at a carboot sale (yard sale) recently. The contents are all original and are a liquour from the famous 'Bols' company (of Holland I think) I'm sure it's 1950's or something. It's nice to see it has some close relatives still around too and very interesting for me to see how much they will go for. I never realised there could be so many different designs. I might post a pic of my little kangaroo friend. By the way I paid just £1 for him (about $1.95)

Regards
Jerome
