Fiaschetta

Attributed to American Flint Glass Manufactory American
Attributed to Henry William Stiegel American, born Germany

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704
Henry William Stiegel fu un imprenditore americano che si oppose al predominio delle importazioni europee fondando la sua manifattura di cristallo americana a Manheim, in Pennsylvania. I suoi artigiani, che erano immigrati, fabbricarono i primi eleganti servizi da tavola prodotti in America. Oltre al vetro incolore, la fabbrica produceva vetro dal prezioso e intenso colore blu cobalto e ametista. La margherita all’interno del rombo disegnata sulla fiaschetta era probabilmente una copia di un disegno molto diffuso nel vetro tagliato.
