Vase

C. Dorflinger and Sons American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

The glass factories founded by Alsatian émigré Christian Dorflinger were arguably among the most significant glass factories in operation from the mid to late nineteenth century. His first factory was in Brooklyn, New York, from which he relocated his operations to White Mills, Pennsylvania, where this object was made. This tall vase embellished with cut designs of flowers, stems, and leaves, represents the fine quality of glass and accomplished cutting for which they were renowned. It descended in the family of Christian Dorflinger.
