Cordial glass c. 1865

This set of four cordial glasses, created by the New England Glass Company around 1865, exemplifies American glassmaking of the mid-19th century. Each glass features a delicate, etched design and a cut-glass base, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and decorative artistry prevalent during this era. The glasses, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of American glassblowing.
