Blown and engraved glass bottle or flask decorated with flowers and plant motifs, metal cap in the shape of a character in front of a barrel, from the Netherlands, vintage second half of the 18th century.
This bottle is in good general condition. A similar bottle (glass stopper) is kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collections (Number: 10.60.10a, b).
Please note: the cap is a little damaged, the decorations worn (should have been enhanced with gilding in places), scratches and wear from time, see photos.
