Tumbler 1887 - 1896

This opaque white glass "Tumbler" is an example of the "Hobbs" glasswares popular in the late 19th century. This particular piece was produced by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company between 1887 and 1896, and it features the "Hobbs" signature "thousand bubble" design. The raised round "bubbles" in the glass give a textural dimension to this otherwise simple design. The "Tumbler" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
