An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Jersey Glass Company exhibited at the Franklin Institute in 1836 and was awarded a silver medal for its exceptional “fluted decanters” of cut glass. The superior quality of the distinctive green glass and the precision of the panel and star cutting are evident in this service.
