Whiskey Tumbler 1884 - 1893

This "Whiskey Tumbler" is a glass object made by the New England Glass Company between 1884 and 1893. The glass is a dark, smoky hue, and the tumbler exhibits a textured surface, suggesting it was made using a free-blown technique. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. This piece is an excellent example of the company’s highly skilled glass-blowing techniques in the 19th century.
