Balt. Show Non bottle purchase - 3/9/2010 10:27:11 AM    potstone   Posts: 400 Joined: 12/11/2007 From: South Eastern PA Status: offline I like early blown glass and try to incorporate it into my bottle and flask collection. This is a circa 1750/60 English Jelly Glass I bought at the show. I have European bottles along with my American bottles and I enjoy blown glass from all areas. Greg Attachment (1) Post #: 1

In picture 2 the base wear shows up well ,good to know what that is supposed to look like .The controlled bubble shows up well too .One uneducated question, is it called an English jelly glass because it held jelly ,or is that the style or type of glass ? _____________________________ Digswithstick (in reply to TreasurDiggrNY) Post #: 9

Is that your catalog number on the base, or is it from the previous owner? Beautiful early glass! (in reply to potstone) Post #: 11

RE: Balt. Show Non bottle purchase - 3/10/2010 5:39:35 PM    potstone   Posts: 400 Joined: 12/11/2007 From: South Eastern PA Status: offline That is a reference number from a past owner. I'm sure it will come off with acetone or nail polish remover. I just left it there. Thanks for the compliment. Greg (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 12

RE: Balt. Show Non bottle purchase - 3/11/2010 12:14:19 PM    potstone   Posts: 400 Joined: 12/11/2007 From: South Eastern PA Status: offline I used the term Jelly Glass referring to this type of glass being very popular in the 18th century. You had Jelly Glass and Sweetmeat Glass. From all the reference material I have read and illustrations I have looked at,  pretty much confirmed it being a Jelly Glass. There are Sweetmeat Glasses that are very similar in form but for the most part have a wider/broader bowl. The stem is typically shorter on the Jelly Glass and attached directly to a bulb for a base. This practice helped prevent breakage when hot liquid was poured into the bowl. The Sweetmeat Glass typically has a longer Baluster Stem and often cut with a Silesian/Fluted design.
