Hobnail Finger Bowl 1887 - 1896

This "Hobnail Finger Bowl" is a piece of American glassware from the late 19th century produced by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company. The bowl’s distinctive “hobnail” pattern, created by pressing glass into a mold, was a popular design element of the time. The piece is a good example of the artistry and technical skill of American glassmakers in the 19th century. Today, it is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York.
