Bottle

18th century
Not on view
Moore’s European glass collection encompassed a wide variety of shapes, textures, and colors that would have served to train the designer’s eye. Even the most ordinary forms could provide inspiration. Though plain in shape, the blue bottle on the left is covered in a fanciful white feathered decoration.
