Gift or bequest expected or on loan prior to 2008
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
The bottle does not display any unique features that would attribute it to a specific glass manufactory or region, making it impossible to ascertain its country of origin. The bottle arrived at the Museum on August 26, 2000, as a loan from the descendants of Donna Jacobs. It has been on view at the Museum from 2002-2007 and from 2012 to the present. It can be documented to have been in the collection of Donna Jacobs by 1992. An outside scholar reported that the bottle was in Donna Jacobs collection during the late 1960s.
