Double perfume bottle c. 19th century

This anonymous artwork, "Double perfume bottle," is comprised of five small glass bottles with silver and brass lids. The bottles, ranging in shades of blue and green, are likely from the 19th century and would have been used to hold perfume or other scented liquids. The bottles' ornate shapes and vibrant colors highlight the delicate artistry of the glassblowing techniques employed in the 19th century. This piece, currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a charming example of decorative glasswork and a reminder of the enduring appeal of perfume throughout history.
