Pan c. 1825

This amber glass bowl, titled "Pan" and dated c. 1825, was created by the Mantua Glass Works. The simple, yet elegant design of the bowl exemplifies the artistry of the early 19th-century glassmaking tradition. The bowl's smooth, rounded form and the subtle variations in the amber hue showcase the skill of the glassblowers. This piece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring beauty and practicality of handcrafted glass objects.
