Set of colorless lead glassware; fifteen pieces including three decanters, four champagne glasses, three tumblers, and five drinking glasses.
Gallery Label:
According to the accession records, this set has been attributed to Brooklyn's Greenpoint Glassworks (working 1873-1880) and to Isaac Duval of Wellsburg, West Va. (working 1813-23). The former is more likely, given the style of the set.
