Vase 1870 - 1890

This "Vase" is a fine example of American pressed glass from the late 19th century. Made by Challinor, Taylor and Company between 1870 and 1890, the vase is decorated with a swirling, marbled pattern and features a repeating motif of embossed flower designs. Its delicate scalloped rim and intricate details are characteristic of the popular Victorian aesthetic. The vase is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
