Description

Overview Vase Manufacturer Mount Washington Glass Company American 1886–94 On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 706 During the late 1880's and early 1890's, the Mount Washington Glass Company began producing wares in opal or opaque glass decorated with gilding, enamel and enamel beads.
