Vase 1865 - 1921

This "Vase" was created between 1865 and 1921 by the Dorflinger Glass Works. The intricate cut-glass design showcases the company's expertise in glassmaking, a popular art form in the 19th century. This piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the Victorian era's taste for elaborate ornamentation. The intricate geometric patterns carved into the glass reflect the high level of craftsmanship practiced by American glassmakers during this time.
