This porcelain pilgrim bottle, crafted in Vienna between 1720 and 1730, showcases the intricate artistry of the era. Its white body is adorned with delicate floral motifs, painted in vibrant hues of pink, blue, and green. The bottle's bulbous form is accented with sculpted floral details, adding a layer of tactile artistry. The silver-mounted cover, with its ornate design, complements the elegant form and exemplifies the integration of different materials in the decorative arts. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this bottle offers a glimpse into the refined taste and craftsmanship of 18th-century Vienna.
