A rare antique shepherd's feeding bottle in blown glass, with a bulbous body and a narrow neck ending in a small, rounded spout. Entirely hand-formed, it displays the irregularities and bubbles characteristic of 19th-century handcrafted glass. Once used in sheepfolds for feeding lambs, this pastoral vessel is now admired for its slender silhouette, slightly greenish transparency, and rustic charm. The pontil mark on the base shows the trace of the glassblower's blowpipe, a sign of its handmade production.
