These pieces really are a mystery to me.  I sold this pretty red piece some time ago so I don’t have a chance to look for the features outlined in this web article – Unraveling the Mystery of Mary Gregory Glassware:The Lady and Her Glass Decorating Legend by Pamela Wiggins – to gauge its age.

You see “Mary Gregory” glass frequently and in very pretty colours.  I really have no sense of the age, or value of pieces, so no longer purchase them.  But no denying that some of them are pretty.

We went out to an auction last night.  There were many pieces of Mary Gregory in cranberry, blue, green, amber and clear.  All types of pieces in various hues.

I did some online research on recognizing older pieces and how to identify reproductions.

No guarantees I guess, but I am pleased with this piece and hope that I made the right choice as I didn’t want a repro.

I really liked the blue and green colours, but all my reading said that the cranberry was the most valuable.  I did try to get a couple vases, but they went for more than I was willing to pay.

Very pretty.
