Covered Bowl 1830 - 1868

"Covered Bowl" is a piece of American blown glass from the 19th century, crafted by Charles A. Cornwall. This clear, hand-blown glass jar with a domed lid is a testament to the artistry of American glassblowing during this period. The piece is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The bowl's simple yet elegant design speaks to the functional yet decorative nature of American glassware in the 19th century.
