Egg Cup 1830 - 1870

This pressed glass egg cup, created by the New England Glass Company between 1830 and 1870, is a fine example of American glassmaking. The cup's design features intricate, repeating patterns of circles and ovals, showcasing the skill of glassblowers during this period. The transparent glass allows light to pass through, creating a shimmering effect that adds to the beauty of the object. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the New England Glass Company.
