Potion Bottles

Potion Bottles – Small Details, Grand Immersion

Potion bottles are one of those small touches that make a big difference. You can hang them from your belt, set them on a table, or line them up beside a campfire — and suddenly, your scene feels alive. They’re the props that clink when you move, catch the light in photos, and tell a story before you even open your mouth.

At Epic Armoury, our potion bottles are made for players who care about those details. Each one is real glass, closed with a cork stopper, and designed to be used over and over again. They’re simple, sturdy, and just the right size to carry with you — whether you’re a healer with a belt full of tonics or a tavern merchant selling mysterious brews.

What Is a Potion Bottle and Why You’ll Want One

A potion bottle is exactly what it sounds like — a small glass bottle with a cork in it. Nothing complicated, but that’s part of the charm. You can fill it with coloured water, sand, herbs, or glitter if you want to make your own fantasy potion, or just leave it empty for a clean, glassy look.

The point isn’t what’s inside — it’s the atmosphere it creates. Potion bottles make a costume or camp look real. They give your kit texture and depth. When people see them hanging from your belt or sitting on your table, it looks like you belong there.

Why they’re worth having:

They add instant character and storytelling potential.
They make photos and camp setups look amazing.
They’re reusable, easy to fill, and simple to carry.
They show you care about the details — and that always gets noticed.

Designed for Real Use

These bottles aren’t fragile props meant to sit on a shelf. They’re made to handle the bumps and movement that come with a long weekend of LARPing or convention travel.

Made from real glass: sturdy, clear, and naturally authentic.
Cork-stoppered: keeps your contents secure, even when you’re running or moving fast.
Compact and practical: fits neatly in pouches or hangs easily from a belt.
Reusable and easy to clean: just rinse and refill for the next adventure.
Versatile design: fits into medieval, fantasy, steampunk, or apocalyptic settings.

It’s the kind of gear you can use year after year — low effort, high impact.

How to Use Potion Bottles at Events

There are no rules here. Potion bottles are one of the most flexible props you can own, and how you use them depends entirely on your imagination.

Worn on Your Belt

Tie a few bottles to your belt with string or loops, and they’ll move and clink as you walk. It’s a simple way to add sound and motion to your outfit — something every immersive costume needs.

As Set Dressing

A handful of potion bottles instantly transforms a camp, tavern, or alchemist’s table. Fill them with coloured liquids for a pop of magic, or keep them empty for that clean, “ready to mix” look.

In Roleplay

Use them in the story — trade them, hand them out, or use them as quest items. Healing potions, poisons, holy water, enchanted dust — anything goes.
You’ll be surprised how much story energy a small glass bottle can create.

Pro tip: Tie parchment tags around the necks with scribbled notes or runes. It takes seconds and makes your setup unforgettable.

A Mix of History and Fantasy

Potion bottles might sound like pure fantasy, but they’ve got deep historical roots. Medieval apothecaries, herbalists, and alchemists all used glass or ceramic flasks with cork or wax seals for storing potions, medicines, and tinctures. Those same shapes — rounded, narrow-necked, and portable — became the blueprint for what we now picture in games and stories.

And fantasy took it from there. From glowing elixirs in video games to cursed brews in novels, potion bottles became icons of adventure. Having them on your belt or table taps right into that feeling — it says you’re part of the story.

Why They’re a Smart Buy

Potion bottles aren’t just for looks; they make your setup more practical too. You can use them for storage, decoration, or props, and they last through countless events with minimal care.

You’ll appreciate that they:

Look convincing up close or in photos.
Are easy to fill and clean.
Fit with nearly any costume or theme.
Survive travel, events, and repeat use without issue.

They’re one of those small investments that pays off every time you use them.

Care and Maintenance

These bottles are simple to look after — just treat them like you would any other piece of glassware:

Empty and rinse after each event.
Let them air dry before storing.
Don’t overtighten the cork; a gentle press is enough.
Store upright or padded when travelling.

If you fill them with coloured water, avoid sticky or sugary liquids — they’ll dry out cleaner and won’t leave residue behind.
