Featured 19th Century Mary Gregory??

hello guys,someone offering me this "mary gregory" but i don't know this is real mary gregory of late 19th century or just 20th "reproduction" any help would be appreciated!

 

found this one,they said this is the real 19th century mary gregory,i think i have some clues now

 

Lovely, S Wolf.

 

what do you think about that mary gregory AJ?do you think it's just recent production or real mary gregory?

 

Sorry, I have no idea, but the others will be along soon.

 

These white figures were not painted by Mary Gregory so in that sense there is no "real Mary Gregory" The decoration lekely started in Bohemia and if memory is correct was call Quarkmall ie white paint. It has been in off and on production for 125 years. Dealers and collectors started the Mary Gregory myth to increase sal;es and white painted figures does not attract a market. Your powder box looks early 1900s to me.

 

This is as "real" as Mary Gregory gets. Unfortunately, Mary Gregory, only decorated for Boston & Sandwich in the late 19th Century and, while she painted this type of scene, no B&S wares have ever been found in production with her namesake style painted upon it. Westmorland coined the "Mary Gregory" style in the 1920's and others adopted it. Some Bohemian makers also used Mary's namesake for this type of wares (I suspect yours is Bohemian, 20th Century). Fenton came out with it in the 1990's (although this form appears to predate anything Fenton created).

 

Welcome to the forum, @JWYBLF .

 

thank you for the information,from what i've read,mary gregory is a misleading name for this beautiful glass.So do you think my box was made before 1950 or after?because in one article it was said that "real" one from 19th century or early model have the figure with looks like more white cameo style,but in my photos i don't think it looks like cameo,any enlightenment then?

 

My circa assessment was for the glass.

 

I appreciate the niceties of defining the glass, but this style has been called Mary Gregory for more than 50 years.

I think this is later just because of that gold leaf. While the enamel is very durable, it seems unlikely that the gold would survive in such good condition.

 

hmm..i think so,i guess maybe this is from 1950s above,i found the earlier model of this kind mary gregory have different style of figure,just a guess!
