Decanter with Stopper 18th-19th century

This 18th-19th century glass decanter stopper, with a ribbed, spherical body and a short, cylindrical neck, is a fine example of glassblowing artistry from an anonymous maker. This piece, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the intricate detail and craftsmanship of glassworking during this period. The clear, transparent glass allows for light to refract through it, creating a shimmering effect, while the delicate ribbed pattern adds a tactile dimension.
