Tear catchers have been used for centuries to show remorse, guilt, love and grief. Used throughout the Roman empire, mourners filled glass bottles with their tears, and placed them in tombs as a symbol of their respect for the deceased. In ancient Persia, when a sultan returned from battle, he checked his wives’ tear catchers to see who among them had wept in his absence and missed him the most.
