Ceramic Raku Scarab Urn Pendant
More Vessels
More Pendants & Necklaces
More Beetles & Insects
The shiny and colorful urn is made of raku ceramic created by low-fire glazing. The ocean-sky hue ranges from dark blues to the palest of turquoise all in one pendant!
The pendant urn is glazed on the inside to hold liquids. But, it is not meant for food or drink contents, so, you might add an essential oil, or some earth from a special place for safekeeping.
Although meant to be worn as pendants, we think this little scarab would be perfect any assemblage, shrine or collage project you might be considering. Scarabs are considered a good luck symbol.
Young scarab beetles seemed to emerge spontaneously from burrows. Because of that, they were considered either sacred or lucky. The antenna on the beetle's head helped it to roll dung into its burrow, where the females laid their eggs. Later, the youngsters fed on the dung. In mythology, the scarabs are pictured using their antennae to push the sun along its course in the sky.
Two pendants are shown to illustrate the front and back.

Vintage Medicine Bottle with Cork
How very delighted we were to have found a box full of these wonderful bottles. Each measures 4-1/4 inches high by 1-3/4 inch wide and 7/8 inch from front to back. The top lip boasts a spout. In fact, on the bottom of the bottle, the molded glass reads:
NON DRIP REG USA
and in a little pennant triangle logo, the company name:
PERFCO
The back of the bottle is softly rounded and the the front is flattened, so that you can easily apply a label, if you like. At the top of the label area are molded characters. These vary from bottle to bottle. The illustrated bottle reads:
3 I I
There were no corks in the bottles when we found them, but we thought we'd add one for a nice touch. You can certainly easily remove the cork, if you choose.
These would be great for homemade concoctions, assemblage artwork or whatever your imagination provides. Consider adding beeswax or sealing wax to the cork for a medieval feel!

Black Memory Suitcase from Cosmo Cricket®
More Containers
Also Available in Brown Tweed
Not all memories fit nicely between page protectors. With the Biography 101, you can secure your photos, postcards, letters, etc. into the album. But, even better, you can use the shadow box for keeping that special dimensional memorabilia.
The design is so clever - it can stand open on a shelf, table or piano - so you can share your special memories in an elegant fashion. Or, if you prefer to secretly treasure those memories, the suitcase is quite attractive closed and stacked amongst your books.
The album itself arrives with 10 standard page protectors, and buckles snugly into the case. The 3-inch window on its front lets you highlight your favorite photo or allows you to title your work.
On the other side, the shadow box offers a hinged door with ribbon closure. The album and treasure shadow box are both acid-free and lignin-free. We are especially fond of the canvas covered carrying case that resembles a suitcase. Wonderful for any memory project or even for altered art, we think it a magnificent way to preserve your travel memories!
The suitcase measures 11-1/2 by 10 by 3-3/4 inches

Small Glass Test Tubes with Fitted Corks
All of SilverCrow's tubes and bottles are so popular with our customers. So, we're always scouting more - so that you have the perfect size for your project!
Each bottle is 6.5mm in diameter and 75mm long (before the natural cork is added).
One of our favorite folks, Marlene, suggests that a bunch of these used together without the corks could hold tiny buds of wildflowers or strawflowers. We've tried to get her to create a sample for us, so hopefully we'll have one soon to show you.

Raku Willendorf goddess urn
If you like our other urns, you'll love this little lady. Made of raku ceramic created by low-fire glazing. The ocean-sky hue ranges from dark blues to the palest of turquoise all in one pendant! She is fully fashioned in 3 dimensions. Shown are two pendants (back and front).
Our goddess pendants are glazed on the inside to hold liquids. They are not meant for food or drink contents, so, you might add an essential oil, or some earth from a special place for safekeeping.
This little bottle is reminiscent of the Venus of Willendorf. The original statue measured about 4-3/8 inches high. Discovered in 1908 by archaeologist Josef Szombath at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, Austria, there have since been a number of similar statues and figures discovered. They pre-date the mythological figure of Venus, but Venus is so often associated with Love, that the name has stuck.
Two urns shown for illustration.
