Light of Eärendil
“And you, Ring-bearer,’ she said, turning to Frodo. ‘I come to you last who are not last in my thoughts. For you I have prepared this.’ She held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang from her hand. ‘In this phial,’ she said, ‘is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you.
May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.’
....J.R.R.Tolkien
This phial has been reproduced in the finest quality glass by a Master glass-artist with many years’ experience and is entirely hand-crafted. The neck is hand decorated with real metal and the stopper is decorated with metal effect. The phial contains a special liquid which is perfectly clear under normal light, but will glow blue when close to an ultra violet light source. (or when Orcs are nearby....of course!)
The stopper is permanently sealed in place and cannot be undone by mere mortals.
The phial measures 150mm in length and is 42mm at the widest part of the bulb.
There are six dimples around the body of the glass and the base is rounded, so will require a stand, which is not included in the auction. The offer is only for the phial, sealed with liquid inside.
This rare phial is a work of beauty and elegance, specially created for collectors of LOTR items.
The phial is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, personally signed by the Master glass artist and the designer.
