This pressed glass goblet was made by Gillinder & Co. for the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 as a commemorative souvenir. It is embossed with the Liberty Bell on one side and and printed “Declaration of Independence, 100 Years Ago, 1776-1876” on the other side.
Goblet measures 7-3/4″ high.
After the glass was most likely dropped and the original glass base shattered, a refined turned mahogany wood replacement base was attached.
This complete identical goblet shows what the glass base looked like.
