#0222 Vintage cobalt blue glass bottle with embossed scrollwork.

5” x 2.5” No chips or cracks Cobalt blue glass has a long history, with its vibrant hue derived from cobalt oxide, a pigment used since ancient Egyptian times. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, cobalt blue became particularly popular for decorative glassware, including bottles, vases, and tableware, prized for its rich and striking color. Many European glass manufacturers, especially in Italy and Bohemia, produced exquisite pieces in this shade. This particular bottle's embossed scrollwork is reminiscent of Art Nouveau or mid-century decorative styles, often seen on perfume bottles, apothecary jars, or small vases. While specific maker's marks are not visible, such decorative glass pieces were widely produced by various factories aiming for aesthetic appeal and were often sold as decorative accents or functional containers for small items.
