Faerie Bones Specimen Jar, A Swirling Potion Bottle Prop
Couldn't load pickup availability
I designed these specimen jars after real specimen jars of the early 1900s, and I love that they manage to look scientific and magical!
- Tall glass jar is full of opaque swamp water green potion with acrylic bones and skulls in it. It changes color when shaken to an earthy brown with strong red/green/purple highlights. Green is what was showing up in pictures, but in person it's brown/red/green/purple- these things really never photograph well.
- Metal lid is subtly aged and sealed with water proof glue.
- Hand aged label is done in the style of antique scientific specimen jar labels. It's coated in water resistant mod podge for durability, but as it wraps over the lid, it should still be treated with care. These labels are hand aged, I photographed one of the most muddied, but they're all different!
- Reads:
"Loc: Willamette OR Date: 8/30/23
Bone Specimens Faerie Origin"
- Black Grim Sweetness Apothecary seal on to of lid completes the look.
- Though non toxic, do not ingest, for decoration only.
These bottles are intended to look old and worn. I hand age the labels, so they are faded and stained. Some are more stained and older looking than others, I enjoy the authentic, magical look!

Customer Reviews
This faux specimen jar is SO cool. The red glitter settles over the bones in a lovely way when unshaken, and when you do shake it the red and the red mix into this deliciously grotesque muddy red that I can't stop looking at. Also the clinking of the bones against the glass is very satisfying, not too loud but realistically twinkly. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes well crafted durable fidgets that also serve as macabre decor.
I absolutely love this potion! I love that the skulls and bones glow in the dark, it's a nice added bonus. The swirling colors are beautiful, but when they settle onto the bones, it gives this creepy, bloody look that is so cool.
But my favorite part is the all sounds it makes! I planned to put this one on my shelves, but it ended up on my desk instead so I can slosh it around and play with it. You can turn it quickly or slowly or slosh it back and forth to create different sounds, it's great for fidgeting when you need to have your eyes focused on something else! Very satisfying.
Ok so I bought this little jar at the last moment and have no regrets. The coolest part is the bones and skulls glow in the dark. When shaken the colors are so pretty yet hard to capture on the camera. Best buy so far.
So cute! And I love the sound it makes when you tilt the bottle back and forth!
This is such a cool bottle, and I love the fidget factor!!!
