Pitcher 1890

This clear glass pitcher, produced by the Dorflinger Glass Works in 1890, is a prime example of American pressed glass, also known as "pattern glass." The intricate diamond pattern, created by a process called "cut glass" using a mold, is both visually appealing and indicative of the craftsmanship of the era. The pitcher, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the enduring artistry of the Dorflinger company, a prominent name in American glassmaking history.
