Pair of Agata Vases c. 1887

This pair of "Agata" vases, crafted by the New England Glass Company around 1887, exemplifies the company's artistry in glassblowing. Each vase features a graceful, elongated form, with a flared, trumpet-like opening. The glass displays a captivating ombre effect, transitioning from a vibrant pink at the top to a delicate white at the base. The vases are further adorned with a subtle pattern of scattered, silver-toned flecks, adding a touch of sparkle and depth. These vases, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, are a testament to the enduring beauty and skill of American glassmaking during the late 19th century.
