About the Item

This exquisite late 19th-century American barber bottle, crafted from cobalt blown glass, showcases a rich, deep blue hue complemented by a hand-painted white enamel floral motif. The bottle captures the light, transitioning from a profound midnight blue to a softer, moodier shade reminiscent of Yves Klein blue. Cobalt glass, known for its use in both art and industry since antiquity, brings a touch of historical elegance to this piece. Known as “smalt” when ground as a pigment, cobalt glass is prepared with a cobalt compound in a glass melt. With the earnest examples dating back to 2000 BCE, cobalt smalt glass became a popular material in 19th century European industrial design. American, 1890 Dimensions: 4W x 4D x 8H
