Bottle 1835 - 1845

This anonymous blown-glass bottle from the 19th century displays a distinctive swirling pattern, a technique known as "latticinio." Its bulbous shape and dark brown hue are characteristic of utilitarian glasswork of the period. This bottle, likely used for storing liquids, demonstrates the artistry and craftsmanship of early glassmaking, now preserved in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
