1835–65 · Blown glass with applied decoration · The American Wing

This bowl features superimposed “lily pad” decoration, a motif adopted by glassmakers primarily in New Jersey and New York State window and bottle factories. To create it, the maker would add a gather of glass and pull it into a scroll-like shape terminating in a circular disk, reminiscent of the foliage of a water lily.
