The February/March 1999 (volume XII, No. 5) feature articles were:
Museum Builders
by Lee Grover - The pieces covered in this article, gleaned from Mrs. Grovers memoirs, are now in museums. Some of these were donated by customers who had initially purchased them from the Grovers. The anecdotes trace unique items - a signed Tiffany Intaglio cut vase, A signed Mt. Washington Crown Milano Bowl, among others - through their circuitous routes from private ownership to public display.
Will the Real Mary Gregory Please Sign In
by Richard Simpson - The aims of this article is to clarify the actual work done by Mary Gregory at Boston & Sandwich Glass Company, as compared to the vast quantity of glass mistakenly attributed to her because it shares similar traits. Glass decorated with white enameled figures has a long history and was produced in several countries. Simpson, with the aid of 10 color plates, traces the roots of this glass type.
Once Again, Whose Turkey Is It?
by Richard V. Simpson - Proper identification of glassware, though not necessarily essential to personal enjoyment, certainly affects its monetary value. Chiarenza reviews information of glass covered dished modeled as full-figure standing turkeys, which may be very similar. An identification guide is provided. Differences among the following types are explained in the text and the guide: U.S. Glass/Challinor, Czech, L.G. Wright, Cambridge, and L.E. Smith. (8 color plates.)
Paden City Discoveries
by William P Walker - William P. Walkers chief interest in Paden City Glass is in compiling information concerning unusual pieces, catalogs or advertising. A few of his own discoveries are discussed. These include a
Debzie
vase in ruby with orchid etchings,
Paul
line ash trays in ruby and cigarette holder - both with spring orchard etchings. Three color plates.
Ice Buckets - A Really Cool Collectible
by Joan J Baggett - Joan J. Baggett surveys ice buckets as collectibles. Articles on display in 10 B&W photos, 12 color plates are from her private collection described in the text. These buckets are vast in type; the author s travels have been equally vast in procuring them. Cambridge, Duncan, Fostoria, Hazel-Atlas, Westmoreland, Liberty Works, and other manufacturers are featured.
Figural Candlesticks, Part 1 - Crucifixes
by Tom Felt - Tom Felt provides a summary of American Manufacturers (known to him) and some notes about the history of crucifix candlesticks. Seven B&W photos, one color plate. He has been able to identify at least 31 different versions, but is certain this is only a fraction of the total. The earliest were probably manufactured by the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company and the New England Glass Company. Some were then copied by Cape Cod Glass Company. Hobbs and later reissued by U.S. Glass Company. Felt says
just about every major glass company offered at least one crucifix.
