The tear bottle tradition has historically been a mourning tradition. Tear bottles were fairly common in Roman times, when mourners filled small glass vials or bottles with tears and placed them in burial tombs as symbols of love and respect. In addition to tears, these bottles are a unique holder for other mememtos like sand, dried flowers, locks of hair or ashes. They symbolize an intensely personal gift in remembrance of a loved one.
