Goblet 1870 - 1890

This "Goblet" is a fine example of 19th-century glassmaking, crafted by Challinor, Taylor and Company between 1870 and 1890. The swirling, mottled patterns in the glass, a technique known as "marbled glass", were achieved through a complex process of mixing and swirling colored glass. The goblet's form, with its tall, slender stem and flared base, is typical of drinking vessels from this period, showcasing the artistry of the Victorian era. The piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, a testament to its enduring beauty and craftsmanship.
