Case Bottle with an Amorous Couple in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2022
Title: Case Bottle with an Amorous Couple and a Lady with a Deer
Date: first half 18th century
Geography: Attributed to India, Gujarat
Medium: Glass, colorless; mold blown, enameled, and gilded
Dimensions: H. 5 1/2 in.
Classification: Glass
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1921
Accession Number: 21.26.11
Gilding and enameling were the most popular form of decorating glass in the eighteenth century, and the most common form was a square-shaped bottle, called a "case bottle" because of its similarity to European transport bottles made to fit in wooden cases. In fact, many case bottles were actually made in Europe and later painted in India. They were usually decorated with floral motifs on two sides, and with figural scenes similar in style and subject matter to contemporary paintings on the other two sides.
