Hobnail Celery vase 1887 - 1900

This "Hobnail Celery" vase, created by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company between 1887 and 1900, is a stunning example of American pressed glass. The vase's unique "hobs" (rounded protrusions) are characteristic of the "Hobnail" pattern, a popular style during the late 19th century. The vibrant pink and opal-like iridescent finish adds a touch of elegance to the piece, making it a perfect example of the artistic craftsmanship of the period. The vase is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of glassmaking artistry.
