This 17th-century bottle, crafted from dark green glass, showcases intricate etched designs. It’s a prime example of glassblowing techniques from the period, with its rounded body and slender neck. The bottle is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a fascinating relic of Dutch glassmaking history. The etched designs likely served as decoration or perhaps even as a mark of the maker.
