Bottle 1875 - 1900

This clear glass bottle, created by Italian glassmaker Antonio Salviati between 1875 and 1900, is a striking example of the artist's masterful use of glassblowing techniques. The bottle's unique shape and intricate, raised, crisscrossed lines create a captivating interplay of light and shadow. This piece is a fine example of Salviati's decorative glassmaking which was popular throughout Europe in the late 19th Century. The bottle is currently on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
