Flask 1860 - 1875

"Flask" is a 19th-century glass bottle with a unique design. The bottle features an etched image of a sailing ship with the American flag, likely made in the United States between 1860 and 1875. The blue glass and clear etched design make this a charming and delicate example of an antique glass bottle, now housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago. The bottle is a reminder of the importance of maritime trade and the growing American identity during the 19th century.
