The development of glassmaking techniques, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, allowed for more intricate designs and vibrant colors, leading to the creation of highly collectible pieces. Iridescent finishes, often achieved through metallic salt treatments, became particularly fashionable, adding a shimmering, ethereal quality to glass art. These bottles were not only utilitarian but also served as decorative accents on vanity tables, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of their time.

This particular style, with its swirling blue and white patterns and iridescent sheen, is reminiscent of techniques used in various glassmaking traditions, including those that produced carnival glass or other forms of art glass. The pulled feather or marbleized effect is achieved by manipulating molten glass, creating unique, often asymmetrical designs. Such bottles were produced by numerous studios and manufacturers, making their artistic merit and decorative appeal remain significant. See less
