Flask 1859 - 1900

This amber-colored glass flask, created by the Whitney Brothers Glass Works between 1859 and 1900, is a fascinating example of American craftsmanship. The flask, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a unique design element - a square panel on the front depicting a horse. This decorative detail showcases the artistry of glassblowing and the use of mold-making techniques, highlighting the skill and ingenuity of the Whitney Brothers Glass Works in the 19th century.
