The phial captured the light of Earendil's star as it was reflected in the Mirror of Galadriel. So the phial, like the Mirror, was a product of Galadriel's Ring and not something created in more ancient times.

Its funny but my mind drew a parallel between the Phial and the Simiril when I read the Silmarillion the first time, and with this explanation there is the tie-in, since Earendil's star is the silmaril upon his brow as he sails the heavens.
