Jug 1862 - 1865

This silver glass pitcher, crafted by the Boston Silver Glass Company between 1862 and 1865, showcases the intricate artistry of 19th-century American glassmaking. The delicate etched design, likely depicting grapevines, adds a touch of elegance to the simple form of the pitcher. The black glass spout and handle further accentuate the silver body, creating a striking contrast. This piece, now residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the enduring legacy of American glassblowing.
