Tumbler 1887 - 1896

This "Tumbler" was created by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company, a prominent glassmaking firm in the late 19th century. The glass vessel is crafted with a unique, textured exterior of small, raised bumps, giving it a tactile and decorative appeal. The vibrant crimson color, typical of the company’s work, adds to the overall aesthetic. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the decorative glassmaking techniques popular in the late 19th century.
