Tumbler 1825

This clear glass tumbler, crafted by the New England Glass Company in 1825, showcases a simple yet elegant design. Its cylindrical form, with a delicate pattern of arches pressed into the glass, speaks to the craftsmanship of early American glassmaking. The tumbler's subtle gold rim adds a touch of refinement, highlighting its functional beauty. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the everyday objects that were prized by 19th-century Americans.
