content: This is a blown glass model of a non-orientable mathematical surface introduced by the German mathematician Felix Klein in 1882. It follows the represntation of a Klein bottle in three dimensions by passing the neck of a bottle through its side and joining its end to a hole in the base. The model was made by Mitsugi Ohno(1926-1999), a Japanese-born glassblower who emigrated to the United States in the early 1960s to become the scientific glassblower at Kansas State University. For other work of Ohno given at the same time see another Klein bottle (acc 318982, object CE.75.142) and a glass model of the U.S. Capitol (acc 318981, object CE.75.143).
