Bowl 1885 - 1893

This pressed glass bowl, created by the firm of Dalzell, Gilmore, and Leighton between 1885 and 1893, exemplifies American glassmaking of the late 19th century. The bowl's intricate pattern, featuring a series of concentric circles and floral motifs, was achieved through the use of molds, a technique that allowed for mass production of decorative glass objects. The bowl, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, stands as a testament to the artistry and technical skill of American glassblowers during this period.
