Tumbler 1887 - 1896

"Tumbler" is a clear glass drinking vessel created by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company in the late 19th century. The piece features a unique design of raised, rounded bubbles that cover the entire surface, giving the tumbler a textured appearance. This piece is a prime example of the innovative glassblowing techniques employed by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company during this period, highlighting the company’s mastery of glasswork and their contributions to the American glassmaking tradition. The tumbler, measuring 3 7/8 inches in height and 2 1/2 inches in diameter, is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
