Mug 1870 - 1890

This clear glass mug, produced by Adams and Company between 1870 and 1890, is a fine example of American pressed glass. The distinctive "bubble" pattern, created by pressing molten glass into a mold, was a popular design of the period. This mug, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the craftsmanship and artistry of glassmaking in the late 19th century.
