This small, amethyst-colored glass cup plate, dating from 1830-1840, is a fine example of 19th-century American glassmaking. The plate's scalloped edge and radiating lines add visual interest to the simple form. Though the artist remains anonymous, this piece demonstrates the skill and artistry of early glassblowers. The plate is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
