A beautiful moon shaped vase made of enamelled glass. The clear body is decorated with gilded and raised white enamel. The star of the vase is the enamelled scene, which is supposed to represent the exploration of the Arctic with a sailing ship and a small rowboat. Around 1870

Gertrud & Otto Natzler, Teardrop Bottle with Tigereye Glaze, 1963.
Their relationship was highly collaborative: Gertrud created the forms of their earthenware pieces, while Otto formulated and applied the dramatic glazes. The brown, smoky gray, and mottled yellow tigereye glaze fuses with the graceful form of the body, which Otto described as “ascend[ing] slowly upward with a slight curve, as if turning onto itself, only to change direction faintly just before ending.” Via Art Institute of Chicago
Tear bottles, or lachrymatory, were prevalent in ancient Roman times, when mourners filled glass vials with tears and placed them in burial tombs as symbols of love and respect.
