Celery vase 1850 - 1855

This cobalt blue glass vase, produced by the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company between 1850 and 1855, is a prime example of American 19th century glassmaking. The intricate cut glass design features a diamond pattern on the body of the vase, which rests on a fluted pedestal base. The vase is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City. The blue color and the meticulous craftsmanship demonstrate the skill of the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company in producing decorative objects for the home.
