Trash to Treasure
Today Bermuda is perhaps best known for its turquoise waters, pink sand beaches and unique architecture. But this belies the island's deep history, gained over 400 years of human settlement. While much has been lost to the ravages of time, glass is one of the few things that has endured. Before the invention of plastic and labels manufacturers used colour, shape and embossing to help tell the buyer understand what was in a bottle. Once emptied, bottles were historically thrown “overboard” into Bermuda’s waters, household middens, marshes and quarries, to be forgotten. Time is not kind and most of these bottles did not remain intact. Its from this glass that we make our treasure. |
