This "Cream Pitcher" was created by the glassmaking firm George Duncan and Sons between 1878 and 1890. The clear glass pitcher features a delicate, intricate pattern of pressed floral motifs. The pitcher is displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. This object is a prime example of American pressed glass, a popular and affordable style in the late 19th century.
