Randsburg Bottle Tee
Uploaded: February 19, 2015 | Entered: February 19, 2015 16:46:42
The use of bottle trees came to the Old South from Africa with the slave trade. Bottle trees were an African tradition, passed down from early Arabian traders. They believed that the bottles trapped the evil spirits until the rising morning sun could destroy them. The use of blue bottles is linked to the "haint blue" spirit specifically. Today, glass bottle trees are a popular garden decoration throughout the South and Southwest. D and C category 02/19/15
