Cordial 1850 - 1855

"Cordial" is a cobalt blue glass goblet produced by the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company between 1850 and 1855. The goblet is elaborately cut with a geometric pattern and features a cobalt blue rim and base. It was likely used for serving cordials or other small drinks. The glass was made by the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company, which was active in the mid-19th century. The goblet, which is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of American cut glass from the mid-19th century.
