Plate 1827 - 1830

This pressed glass plate, produced by the New England Glass Company between 1827 and 1830, features a delicate, repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs and swirling tendrils around the rim. The use of pressed glass, a technique that allowed for the mass production of affordable tableware, was a significant development in the 19th century, making such objects accessible to a broader audience. The plate is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
