Square Bottle c. 18th century

This small, square bottle, dating back to the 18th century, is a striking example of decorative glassblowing. The cobalt blue glass is the dominant color, accented by white and yellow floral motifs and a thin band of red enamel. The bottle’s size, its painted decoration, and its square shape suggest it was likely used to hold a small amount of perfume or other liquids for personal use, making it a fascinating artifact of its time.
