Tulip Vase 1835 - 1845

This cobalt blue glass "Tulip Vase" is a fine example of 19th-century American glassmaking. Made between 1835 and 1845, the vase features a flared, ruffled lip, a slender, faceted body, a central, cylindrical stem, and a multi-tiered octagonal base. The vase's bright blue color and elegant form would have made it a stylish addition to any Victorian-era home. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this charming piece, demonstrating the artistry and craftsmanship of American glassblowers during this period.
