Fragment 1763 - 1774

"Fragment," a piece of black glass from Stiegel's Manheim Factory, demonstrates the artistry and skill of American glassmakers in the 18th century. This small, irregularly shaped fragment, likely from a larger vessel, showcases the characteristic deep black hue and intricate surface patterns typical of Stiegel glass. The piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
