Alchemist's Blown White Glass Flask With Flared Neck And Angled Spout, Late 18th Century

A rare and beautiful 18th-century (circa 1770) blown white glass flask, likely from an alchemist's laboratory. This perfectly preserved piece, with its domed base (known as a "false bottom"), is a work of grace and delicacy characteristic of the glassmakers of that era, designed for mixing (wide neck and fine, angled spout). A curiosity from the end of Louis XV's reign, it is in good condition and possesses both decorative and practical value. This flask is safe and can be used to enhance the table setting for any liquid substance. The blowing technique, with its imperfections, adds to the piece's charm. The twisted glass and the base of the flask, cut while hot with its star-shaped spokes, are particularly noteworthy. A beautiful period piece that has survived to this day in excellent condition—a fortunate find!
