Hobnail Creamer 1887 - 1896

This glass creamer, crafted by the Hobbs, Brockunier and Company between 1887 and 1896, is a fine example of American glassmaking in the late 19th century. The creamer's distinctive hobnail design, characterized by its embossed, spherical knobs, was a popular decorative style of the period. The creamer's clear glass allows light to play across its textured surface, creating an appealing visual effect. Its presence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art underscores its significance as a work of American craftsmanship.
