Tumbler 1886 - 1890

"Tumbler" is a delicate, white, cylindrical glass piece designed by Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton in the late 19th century. The tumbler's surface is adorned with an intricate floral design in silver. The simple form and elegant detailing of the Tumbler are characteristic of the late Victorian period. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a fine example of the glassmaking craftsmanship of the time. The delicate, hand-applied silver detailing, reminiscent of intricate lacework, creates a beautiful visual contrast against the smooth white surface of the glass.
