In Victorian times, a "hair receiver" was a small, decorative container used to collect and store hair clippings and locks of hair from family members and loved ones. These containers were typically made of various materials, including porcelain, glass, metal, or wood, and they often had ornate designs or intricate detailing.

The purpose of a hair receiver was to preserve sentimental tokens of affection and remembrance. During the Victorian era, hair was seen as a symbol of love, friendship, and familial ties, and it was common for people to exchange locks of hair as tokens of affection. Hair could be collected from various sources, such as a beloved spouse, child, or deceased family member. This hair would then be carefully placed inside the hair receiver.

Please check photos (do not forget to zoom in!) and do not hesitate to ask questions if interested; the color may look slightly different due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings; this item is sold AS IS where imperfections may or may not be visible on the photo.

I do reduce, reuse and recycle most of the packaging materials where possible in order to make zero to none human footprint to our climate and mother Earth.
