Flacon

Attributed to American Flint Glass Manufactory American
Attributed to Henry William Stiegel American, born Germany
1769–74
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704
Voulant contrer la domination des importations européennes, Henry William Stiegel, entrepreneur américain, fonda l’American Flint Glass Manufactory à Manheim, en Pennsylvanie. Ses artisans, tous immigrants, sont à l’origine des premiers services de table élégants du Nouveau Monde. Outre le verre incolore, la manufacture produisit des verres aux riches coloris améthyste et bleu cobalt. La marguerite enfermée dans un diamant qui décore ce flacon est probablement copiée d’un motif populaire en cristallerie.
