Sauce Dish 1877 - 1880

This "Sauce Dish," created by Adams and Company between 1877 and 1880, is a beautiful example of pressed glass, a popular technique in the late 19th century. The intricate design features a repeating motif of circles and ovals, creating a subtle yet elegant pattern. The dish's delicate form and intricate details reflect the skilled craftsmanship of the Adams and Company glassworks, a prominent American manufacturer of pressed glass. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistry and functionality of American glassmaking during this period.
