Wine Glass 1880 - 1888

This 19th-century "Wine Glass" was made by the New England Glass Company, known for their high-quality glasswork. The clear glass has a subtle ombre effect, fading from a darker hue at the top to a lighter shade at the base. The elegant design of the glass, with its simple yet refined shape, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the era. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the artistry and practicality of American glassmaking.
