Tumbler 1887 - 1896

This "Tumbler" is a clear glass drinking vessel with a unique textured surface. Created by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company, a prominent glassmaking company, it is a prime example of the "Hobnail" style. This glassmaking technique, popular in the late 19th century, involves pressing small, rounded protrusions into the glass surface. This piece is a fine example of the Arts & Crafts movement, where emphasis was placed on handcrafted objects and simple, elegant designs.
