Bowl 18th-19th century

This clear glass bowl, dating from the 18th or 19th century, is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of an anonymous artist. The bowl's intricate, patterned surface adds texture and dimension, making it a visually interesting object. The delicate size of the bowl, measuring 2 1/4 x 5 x 5 inches, suggests its use for smaller portions or perhaps decorative purposes. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this bowl provides a glimpse into the history of glassmaking and its use in everyday life.
