Mary Gregory
Mary Gregory is the name used for a type of glass that is easily identified. White figures were painted on clear or colored glass as the decoration. The figures chosen were usually children at play. The first glass known as Mary Gregory was made about 1870. Similar glass is made even today. The traditional story has been that the glass was made at the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company in Sandwich, Massachusetts, by a woman named Mary Gregory. Recent research says that none was made at Sandwich. In fact, all early Mary Gregory glass was made in Bohemia. Beginning in 1957, the Westmoreland Glass Co. made the first Mary Gregory–type decorations on glassware in the United States. These pieces had simpler designs, less enamel paint, and more modern shapes. France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and England, as well as Bohemia, made this glassware. Children standing, not playing, were pictured after the 1950s.

Has anyone heard from this person? I would love to bid on this auction, but we don't seem to be getting any answers here. Fortheloveofvintage, have you heard back from this lister off of this page? I, too would love to see the picture referred to, because I can't find it and this child is definitely standing. Wish we would get some answers.

Mary Gregory was a real lady, her and her sister did paint glassware, but she was born in 1856 and passed in 1908. They both did work in Mass.

Sorry, I was away for a little while on business related matters & just now sit down at my computer & seen the comments left by a few people. This is a real auction by a real person with a real job lol. Yes I have researched Mary Gregory very extensively myself. I have over a 100 articles about her & more than 1500 pics of her work & Yes Scooter0164 you are right about her painting kids but she painted on 5 different styles of glass & every style of glass had its own theme or themes.

I still want to see the pic of this vase in her studio. Could you please copy and paste or scan it into the listing? Thanks. I really want to bid on this, but not unless it is genuine and has no chips, etc.
