Bottle

German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 199


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. Like the bottle, the small pharmacy jar next to it probably served a practical function. Yet a red and white marbled pattern enlivens its opaque white surface.
