EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning scent bottle from the mid-19th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Pietro Bigaglia, an Italian glass artist, this exquisite piece stands at a height of 4.8 cm and is now held in a private collection. The tear-drop shape of the bottle adds to its allure, while the narrow black neck is crimped and adorned with a delicate gold aventurine design. The body of the bottle features eight portrait canes, including two depicting an unidentified stylish lady and six believed to represent Francis Joseph I, Emperor of Austria from 1848 to 1916. Amidst strands of blue, red, turquoise, and white glass are swirls of aventurine fleck that add depth and texture to this ornate creation. This scent bottle not only served as a vessel for perfume but also as a decorative masterpiece in its own right. Its intricate decoration and attention to detail make it an embodiment of beauty products from another era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact through eChristies Images' lens captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such extraordinary pieces like this scnet bottle by Pietro Bigaglia.
