ITEM 6580. UTILITY JAR, bubbly
olive green, dip molded cylinder, pontil scar, 6 ½"H,
sheared and fire polished mouth, a mint jar exhibiting light
usage wear. American, possibly blown at the John Amelung's New
Bremen Glassmanufactory, Frederick, MD, 1785-1795, rare. Ex.
Stohlman Collection.
18th century in look and feel, this intriguing jar was at one
time included in the pioneer blown glass collection of Dr. Martin
and Elizabeth Stohlman. Beginning in the 1930s, the Stohlmans
spent many hours digging for fragments on the site of the New
Bremen Glassmanufactory, eventually matching these fragments
with whole examples located in the immediate vicinity of the
factory site. Their findings were presented in the Magazine Antiques
and selections from the collection were displayed at the Corning
Museum of Glass.
