Bottle with stopper 1840 - 1850

"Bottle with Stopper" is a mid-19th century glass bottle by Feodor Kehrer, a German artist known for his intricate glasswork. The bottle is shaped like a tall, slender obelisk with a star-shaped stopper, decorated with intricate, engraved designs and painted details. The bottle's shape and ornamentation evoke a Gothic style, referencing the popular revival of medieval art and architecture during the 19th century. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Kehrer's mastery in the art of glassblowing and decorative design.
