Burmese - Mary Gregrory Rose Bowl

Hello everybody!

Can anyone help me find more information about this piece?

I know it's Mary Gregory, and that it's (most likely) Burmese Glass.

The bowl-shape is called a rose Bowl.

Unfortunately I can't find Mary gregory burmese glass anywhere.
At least, I'm having difficulties putting a date and price on it.

Thanks in advance!

We were importing from Italy in the 50s-70s.

Also Fenton made Burmese. If that is a rough pontil, then probably not Fenton.

Here's google images of Fenton.

I found these Vases with the same decoration. Unfortunately no attribution.

Yes I saw these, but what do you mean by attribution?
It does say it's Mary Gregory, Burmese, made in USA, 1920's.


Only items I could find were these:
1) https://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl...act=8#h=875&imgrc=SeUa8wCNMwthkM:&vet=1&w=982

Attribution = Who made them.
Mary Gregory = Decor
Burmese = Type of Glass Treatment
USA = Where they were made

It does not say "Who" made them

 

Okay, then that's my mistake.
I thought Mary Gregory was the maker, WITH the 'signature' decor.

 

In this case Mary Gregory is a fantasy name made up many years ago probably by some dealer to make this decoration more desirable. This decorative technique has been used in Europe and the US for 125 years. Yours is most likely from Italy after WW2.

 

For what little it's worth, Mary Gregory was a painter who worked for the Boston & Sandwich glass Co. She painted winter scenes on white glass, leaving the roofs of buildings 'white."
There is no evidence she or anyone else at B & S painted children. Her name was applied (probably in hopes of sales) to the imported wares from Bohemia and later copied by Westmoreland and others. No Burmese glass (made by Mt. Washington) was painted that way. My guess is that the rose bowl above is from mid 20th century mainland Italy.
