Hobnail celery vase

Hobbs, Brockunier and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass vase with a cylindrical shape. The vase has a flat base and a slightly flared mouth. The body of the vase features numerous small, raised circular bumps arranged in a grid-like pattern. The top portion of the vase, just below the mouth, has a series of short, vertical ridges. The background is a plain gray color. The vase casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface the vase sits on appears to be a flat, light-colored material, possibly a table or shelf.
