Wine Glass 1870 - 1890

This clear, pale green "Wine Glass" was produced by Adams and Company, a glass manufacturer, between 1870 and 1890. Its unique design features a bulbous, rounded bowl, covered in a repeating pattern of raised dots or "knobs," which are characteristic of the pressed glass style popular during this era. This example, currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands 3 7/8 inches tall and is a testament to the skill and artistry of glassblowing in the 19th century.
