Sherry Glass

Hobbs, Brockunier and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Sherry Glass by Hobbs, Brockunier and Company. The glass is tall and slender with a wide, flared opening at the top. The bowl of the glass is cone-shaped and features an etched design with a bubble pattern. The stem is long and thin, connecting the bowl to a circular base. The entire glass appears to be made of dark-colored glass. The background of the image is a plain gray color, allowing the glass to be the focal point.
