Celery Vase 1885 - 1888

The "Celery Vase" is a piece of pressed glass, produced between 1885-1888 by the Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co. The vase is a stunning example of the "Celery" pattern, named for its use in serving celery. The vase features a unique and intricate design of small, raised bubbles that cover its surface. This vase, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of the American glass industry during the late 19th century.
