Student Found A 200-Year-Old Bottle While Beachcombing

Behind the Instagram account called maristella890 hides a 19-year-old college student from Ankaran, Slovenia who makes beautiful sea-themed jewelry.

Marina Mlačič isn’t just an ordinary everyday crafter; she spends most of her free time beachcombing and searching for seashells, corals, sea glass and sea pottery which she would later use in her jewelry collection.

In one of her searches, the young woman found a 200-year-old undamaged Maraschino bottle from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which she returned to its original place.

“After finding it, I returned it back home to the Cosmacendi Palace, where in the past lived the maker of the bottle and is now the Museum of Ancient Glass! It was not only an incredible find but also a bottle without any proof that it even existed,” Mlačič said.
