bottle collecting
Amassing glass vessels
Bottle collecting is the hobby of seeking and accumulating bottles, typically old or antique ones valued for their age, color, shape, or historical significance.
Collectors hunt for specimens at flea markets, estate sales, and dig sites where bottles were discarded.
Some specialize in particular types—medicine bottles, poison bottles, or flasks from specific eras.
