Blue Glass Bottles for a Coastal Themed Decor

Vintage blue glass bottles come in various shades, from a rich deep cobalt to pale blue. They make lovely bud vases or if they have a cork bung or lid, they are perfect for dispensing shampoo or bath oil in the bathroom, or using in the kitchen for vinegar and olive oil etc.
