Pan c. 1825

This 19th-century "Pan" is a glass bowl created by the Mantua Glass Works and is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The piece features a simple, elegant design, with a rounded bowl and a slightly flared rim. Its translucent, slightly greenish hue and the presence of tiny air bubbles in the glass contribute to its delicate and charming aesthetic. This small, functional object is a testament to the skill of the Mantua Glass Works, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of glassmaking in the early 19th century.
