Tumbler 1880 - 1887

This 19th-century "Tumbler" is an example of pressed glass, a technique popularized in the United States. The piece, made by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company, features a repeating pattern of raised circles on the surface of the amethyst-colored glass. The design creates a tactile and visually appealing element, typical of the era's decorative glassware. It is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
