Bottle 1867 - 1875

This amber glass bottle, "Bottle," was created by the Whitney Brothers Glass Works between 1867 and 1875. Standing at 30.8 cm tall, the bottle is shaped like a human figure, likely a representation of a Native American warrior. The intricate details of the figure, including the headdress, clothing, and weapons, are visible through the glass. The bottle's design and craftsmanship exemplify the artistic and technical skill of the Whitney Brothers Glass Works during the 19th century. This unique piece of art is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
