Tumbler 1887 - 1896

"Tumbler," created by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company between 1887 and 1896, is a stunning example of American glassmaking. The clear glass vessel is adorned with a unique, textured surface comprised of numerous small, raised bubbles. This technique, known as "bubble glass," was popular in the late 19th century and adds a tactile dimension to the piece. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tumbler is a testament to the artistry and technical skill of American glassblowers during this period.
