RE: New York State Threaded Pitcher - 10/13/2010 10:58:12 AM    earlyglass   Posts: 1067 Joined: 12/21/2004 Status: offline Jeff, Another comparable would be the double handled pieces similar to the one Jeff Evans sold last spring, which had identical characteristics and had always been attributed to Mt. Vernon. Part of the problem for me is the "misinformation" that has circulated for decades (usually in auction houses) attributing these threaded pitchers to Redford. There seems to be some gray area (for me) as to who produced what in these NY state glasshouses.... I need to do more research. Further, does anyone have any concrete information regarding glassblower Matt Johnson... did he work in New York... when, where? Mike (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 21

FWIW, the documented Redford tableware I have seen is of a different quality of metal than those attributed to Mount Vernon or Cleveland... _____________________________ www.jeffnholantiquebottles.com www.noordsyantiques.com (in reply to earlyglass) Post #: 22
