Glass March 26, 2009

The Chrysler's greatest strength is in glass made during the second quarter of the 19th-century through the 20th-century, yet it contains many significant objects from earlier eras. The Tiffany collection is world famous and nearly comprehensive in the area of blown glass, and also contains splendid windows and lamps. French glass is another major area of strength with magnificent glasses made by nearly all major makers including Baccarat, Galle, Daum, Walter, Marinot, Argy-Rousseau, and Burgun, Schverer and Cie. The Chrysler houses a small English cameo glass collection as well.
