Bottle, Marie Zimmermann, 1916, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Marie Zimmermann was a pioneering jeweler and metalsmith who employed a range of materials to create alluring surfaces like this bottle’s. Zimmermann was interested in the history of design and metalsmithing around the world, and her experimental approach was inspired by the vast global collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she spent time as an art student in New York. This bottle is a refined example of Zimmerman’s ability to combine the sleek lines of modernism—in the body of the vessel—with her interest in Chinese art—in the lapis, jade, and metal stopper. It was made at a pivotal point in her career, when she began expanding her output beyond jewelry into decorative objects for the home. Restricted gift of Mrs. John T. Golitz Size: 11 × 8.5 cm (11 × 3 3/8 in.) Medium: Gilded copper, lapis lazuli, and white jade
