Hobnail Pitcher 1887 - 1896

The "Hobnail Pitcher" is a beautiful example of American pressed glass from the late 19th century, crafted by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company. The pitcher's distinctive hobnail design, a repeating pattern of raised, rounded "nails," is a hallmark of the company's style. This intricate texture adds depth and dimension to the clear glass, creating a captivating visual effect. The pitcher, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of American glassmaking during the Victorian era.
