Goblet

1791
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704
Engraved with the arms of the state of Pennsylvania and signed "New Bremen Glassmanufactory / 1791," this goblet was presented to Thomas Mifflin in 1791, the year he became governor of that state. The foot was broken and replaced, probably in the early nineteenth century; the goblet's original cover is missing.
