Goblet
C. Dorflinger and Sons American
The glass factories founded by Alsatian émigré Christian Dorflinger were arguably among the most significant glass factories in operation from the mid to late nineteenth century. His first factory was in Brooklyn, New York, from which he relocated his operations to White Mills, Pennsylvania, where this object was made. His products were renowned both for the fine quality of the glass and for their accomplished cutting. This wine glass descended in the family of Christian Dorflinger and relates to another example in the Museum’s collection (2015.720); while the stems on the two glasses are identical, the other bowl is made with cranberry over colorless glass.
