Hand blown in olive green glass, the bottle carries the soft irregularity, tiny bubbles and gentle movement in the walls that make 19th century pieces so fascinating. Originally made as a bouteille à truffes for preserving truffles, it has the workmanlike beauty of an object that was made to be used and has survived for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is simple and strong: a rounded body rising into a narrow neck with a hand-tooled applied collar at the mouth, made to take a wired cork seal. The glass has that rich olive tone collectors look for, deepening where it thickens at the base and brightening where the light comes through the neck. The base shows the soft kick and handmade finish you expect from early blown glass and the overall feel is substantial in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, this old French glass bottle slips easily into a kitchen, pantry, or shelf display. It looks wonderful with a single stem, grouped with other antique bottles or left entirely on its own where the light can move through the glass. Pieces like this bring age, texture, and quiet French character in a way newer glass never can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53643940757847,"sku":"GLS-041","price":385.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-truffle-bottle-hand-blown-olive-glass-2.jpg?v=1779807049","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-truffle-bottle-hand-blown-olive-glass-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
