Persian handblown cobalt blue tear catcher

Vibrant antique Persian tear catcher or rose water sprinkler made of handblown cobalt blue glass, dating from the late 19th century. Similar items are characterized by their long, graceful swan-neck shape and deep blue color. These vessels have historically been used to store rose water or, according to folklore, to collect the tears of women waiting for loved ones to return from war. No cracks or chips. It does have one flaw which was caused in process of making it looks like maybe a tiny ear bubble.  This piece stands at about 11 inches to the very top.
