ANOTHER UPDATE
I’m pleased to report that I received the first batch of glass phials and stoppers from Jim yesterday and they are looking perfect. Now I have to apply the metal effect to the neck and stoppers, fill them and seal them.
Now, I know you are all perfectly happy with the photos I...
IMPORTANT NOTICE
It has recently been brought to my attention that my version of the phial is not as ‘screen accurate’ as I first thought. This is concerning the number of dimples that run around the main bulb of the bottle. My version has 6 dimples whereas the bottle used in the film had a...
UPDATE
In response to your requests for a COA I can confirm that ALL orders will be sent out with a Certificate of Authenticity, personally signed by myself and the glass artist. It will also be dated.
It will be printed on decent quality A4 paper and rolled up inside the outer cardboard...
Some of the members who have ordered the Light of Eärendil have some pretty unique plans for displaying the phial, but in case there are any stuck for ideas I have a few items that might be of interest.
I have just added a Phial stand page to my website, mostly featuring Selenite crystal stands...
I have just updated my website with more photos of the phial on a new page, and it is now available to purchase from the 'buy online' section.
Price is £98.50 and the postage is £9.80. I am planning to pack the phial inside a plastic bag, wrapped in corrugated paper and inside a cardboard...
Somebody had to do this…and do it properly. This is intended to be deadly screen accurate.
Made from glass and filled with a special liquid, just as it should be.
My version of this iconic piece is made from borosilicate glass which is clearer and harder than lead crystal glass. It’s the same...
Thanks. Your name is on the list, but you have to wait a while. Now comes the tricky bit of chemical experiments....'Boldly glowing where no man has glowed before..'
I don't have a big issue with this and I am sure it will work but I have to test things out..y'know. New territory...new...
I should have pointed out that the bottom of the bottle/phial is round....in case that wasn't obvious, so it needs something to stand it IN for support.
The stand can be almost anything so long as it has a hole large enough to hold the phial...here's another idea I had.
Thanks bill59, the stand was always going to be an optional extra as many collectors would like to select their own way of displaying the phial, which is the main item. I have a small variety of the Crystal bases because of their ability to transmit light and imagined that the Elves might have...
The project is nearing completion and is screen accurate. This my glass phial filled with my special liquid, which will be permanently sealed. The liquid inside is perfectly clear but will glow under UV light. The phial has a round base so needs a stand for display, and I am suggesting a natural...
