<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 206054, member: 56&quot;]Glass of this type is called &quot;Mary Gregory&quot; (after a particular example).&nbsp; It used to be very collectible, but I don&#039;t know its current status.&nbsp; It&#039;s one of those things that has been massively reproduced.&nbsp; What is the size?&nbsp; Might be a sugar bowl missing its lid - but that doesn&#039;t render it valueless. You can see from the small chips at the rim that the cranberry color is applied.&nbsp; That may be a telling point, but I don&#039;t have the expertise to say.&nbsp; To me, it looks old, probably antique.&nbsp; The pontil mark on the bottom is encouraging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years and years ago I was at a country auction where there were two cobalt blue Mary Gregory Biscuit jars.&nbsp; The auctioneer put them up and started his spiel - $20, $10, $5 - nobody saying anything until a voice piped up from the back of the crowd - $400.&nbsp; That ended that.</p><p><br /></p><p>We sure haven&#039;t seen much Mary Gregory glass here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
