Square bottles / Bouteilles carées / Vierkante flessen

Square-blown glass objects are difficult to find and are most of the time first blown in a round shape and later shaped more or less square by hand. However, pressing, cutting and polishing, has created beautiful glass or crystal cubes. In the world of glass art, glass bottles led a very modest life. Bottles are the only square glass objects made in large quantities. In fact glass bottles are the champions of the square and the rectangular form. That is why this book deals for an important part with bottles and primarily with spirit and liqueur bottles.
