Pocket bottle

American Flint Glass Manufactory

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The diamond-daisy pattern on this amethyst-colored pocket bottle may have been introduced by Stiegel; it is not found on European examples. Many variations of this popular design exist, as seen in other pieces in the collection (see 34.65 and 14.74.17).
