Pan c. 1825

This amber glass bowl, created by the Mantua Glass Works around 1825, is a stunning example of early American glassmaking. The bowl's simple, elegant form and intricate detail, visible in the speckled surface, demonstrate the skill of the glassblowers. It's a testament to the craft and artistry of the period and is a valuable piece for those studying the history of American glasswork. This small but exquisite bowl, currently in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, provides insight into the artistic practices of the early 19th century.
