Covered bowl 1880 - 1900

This clear glass bowl, shaped like a pear with a lid, is an anonymous creation from 1880 - 1900. Its delicate form and simplicity reflect the understated elegance of the late 19th century. The bowl, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry of glassblowing during this era. This piece is an excellent example of glass art from the American Victorian era, a period known for its intricate detail and craftsmanship.
