Collectable and antique bottles (such as perfume bottles) have been sought after for centuries. The art of glass blowing was invented by the Phoenicians in approximately 50 B.C. and has fascinated people all around the world ever since. The way a glassblower uses the blowpipe to make his creations is amazing, as each piece can be entirely different from the last one. By adding colored dye to the glass, the blower can create a wide variety of vases, jars, and assorted containers.

During the Middle Ages, the art of glass blowing was used to create some of the most magnificent drinking vessels in the world. Today, glass blowing is also used to create miniature glass statuettes.

Antique glass bottles were obtained by collectors from digging around in old buildings and garbage dumps. Over the years these bottles have become very valuable. The 1800's was a historical time for bottles, as glassblowers began to put their mark on the bottles they made. It wasn't very much longer until glassblowers began putting more information on all the bottles they made, such as the date or some important information which needed to be etched into the bottles so that people would know where the bottle came from and what its contents were.

The first bottles used cork stoppers to help age wine, and this type of lid is still used in some wines today. There is also a very good reason why bottles have different designs in their creation. Some bottles were made with straight sides and were good for catching sediment, and it made them easy to stock. A Burgandy bottle has its sides tapering down 2/3rds the height to a shorter cylindrical section, and it does not have a shoulder. Then in 1872 the Codd-neck bottle was invented, and soon became the most popular bottle in the world, as it had to be filled upside down and a rubber washer in the neck was sealed using pressurized gas to seal the washer in place.
