Mary Gregory Glass

             Mary Gregory glass can be divided into old Mary Gregory which was made between 1879 to 1939, it was mostly mouth blown and appears to have come primarily from central Europe. New Mary Gregory glass made after the second world war all over the world, and still made today. The distinguishing feature of Mary Gregory glass is the stylized white enamel painting usually of a child in an outdoor setting, playing with such things as butterfly nets, bubbles, fishing rods, or hoops. The trees and foliage often have a feathered style, and the figure is oddly old-fashioned in its proportions. It was made in many colors such as ruby, lemon, amber, and cobalt. Mr. Thompson has many pieces of Mary Gregory in his collection.

All of these pieces except the bottom left are located in the music room’s secretary book case. The yellow container is located in the living room.
