Cup 1870 - 1890

This small, two-handled cup, created by Challinor, Taylor and Company between 1870 and 1890, is a fine example of the glassmaking skills of the late 19th century. The cup's swirling, black and white marbled glass, known as "agate" glass, is visually striking and reminiscent of natural stone patterns. The cup, which is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era.
