They were made to do this without a lid, so that the tears evaporated. In the Eastern empires of antiquity, such as Persia or the Byzantine Empire" ловцы tears@" were for men a kind of litmus test: the number of wives you cry there tears it became clear, whether suffered during those long separations...
During the Civil war in America his wife went to the front of the soldiers, too, kept their tears at husbands as a symbol of love, and then presented favorite.
In other Victorian fishers of tears was a special risk — once the tears reached her, opened the lid and waited until all the tears will evaporate. Once the vial was empty, mourning for a dearly departed relative can be removed.
