Handblown glass from Egypt, decorated with real gold. These are all about 3-4" high. (From eBay, except for rightmost which was purchased in a gift shop. Added 5/2/00.) |
Similar to the preceding, but larger (about 6-8" high) with more unusual designs. The first has a camel shaped stopper, and the other two actually have a little camel inside the larger bottle (detail right). (All from Ebay, added 5/2/00.) |
Detail of camel inside perfume bottle in photo at left. |
|
A bottle (about 9" high) with a camel stopper and also a camel inside. (From eBay, added 5/23/00.) |
A very different style of perfume bottle, looking less like a bottle and more like a camel, with legs and everything. (from eBay, added 12/29/00.) |
Another bottle with legs, along with interesting coloring. (gift, added here 8/10/10.) |
|
The amazing triple camel bottle. It's in the shape of a camel, has a camel inside, AND also has a camel stopper. (From eBay, added 1/8/01.) |
Detail of the camel inside the triple camel bottle at left. |
Detail of the stopper on the triple camel bottle at far left. |

Bought at an art festival from a vendor named Amy. (originally posted 5/23/00 in the Miscellaneous section; moved here 8/10/10.) |
Blown glass, like a perfume bottle except in form. This can sit like a figurine or hang like an ornament. (from eBay; added here 8/10/10) |
Similar to "traditional" Christmas ornaments. (gift, added here 8/10/10) |
|
Fabric, similar to the camels on the wind chimes in the Miscellaneous section. (added here 8/10/10) |
Another blown-glass one, similar to the perfume bottles. (added here 8/10/10) |
Fabric and beads, but rather flat. I left the label on so you can see where it came from. (gift, added here 8/10/10) |
|
A set, made of lightweight wood, and handpainted with scenes of camels and palm trees. (gift; added here 8/10/10) |
Detail from the camels at left, showing the painting. Interesting that the painting show 1-humped camels while the ornaments themselves are 2-humped. | |
I'll probably be adding more camels here later, as I take more
pictures or get more.
