Vase

Jersey Glass Company of George Dummer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass vase with a narrow, rounded base that widens into a bulbous body, then narrows again into a short neck before flaring out into a wide mouth. The base has a slight lip around the edge. The vase has a smooth, glossy finish with small bubbles visible throughout. A shadow is cast to the right of the vase on a speckled off-white background.
