    My aunt was given these glasses by an old friend who was cleaning out her basement. We have no idea what the glass is called or when they were made. If anyone could give us an idea of what these pretty glasses are we would be very appreciative.

      I love them but there is a lot of people on this site that could tell you I'm no expert but a name does come to mined Mary Gregory. As I said I am not a expert just learning or trying to myself.

      Yes they are Mary Gregory glasses . Very nice and collectible . Zowie was right on ! :-))
    3. TiRicchi1, 11 years ago
      Thank you!! I now have a name to put to them to do some research on the glasses!

      Manikin - I know nothing about Mary Gregory glass so perhaps you can answer this question. How can you distinguish American from European and the fakes?
    5. TiRicchi1, 11 years ago
      Good question Mac!

    8. Stillwater Stillwater, 11 years ago
      Oh whoops, someone already said that
    9. Zowie Zowie, 11 years ago
      Thanks Manikin I know not your site but I was glad to know that I must be learning something I have also seen this in the magazines over the years but have not seen one for real. I think I might know something in a picture but come to the real object I don't know. I do love the look

      Thank you Mac for the link it was very informative!! I think I may start collecting Mary Gregory glass...they are so beautiful...

      This is Bohemian glass , I have a Bohemian crystal one and it is number as well with the sticker and signed with numbers. it is the Mary Gregory!! I Believe I have this same scene on my oil pitcher.
    12. TiRicchi1, 11 years ago
      So Weirdpuckett...do you think this is not Mary Gregory glass? I welcome all comments...

      This is more appropriately called Mary Gregory Style based on the painted child scene. This style of glass was done by a number of glass makers having nothing to do with the Mary Gregory of Boston Sandwich Glass. The coin/spot optic of these tumblers is fairly unique, and I'm guessing most likely Bohemian as well.
    14. TiRicchi1, 11 years ago
      So TallCakes..is it a Mary Gregory or not.. and what is meant by Bohemian?
    15. TallCakes TallCakes, 11 years ago
      The painted graphic would make these 'Mary Gregory Style' as an accepted name, and likely from a Bohemian glass company.

      Here's a link including many of the different child scenes:
