Probably made in Ohio, United StatesBottle with Blue Trails 12th century This appealing pale green bottle was initially blown into a mold with narrow vertical ribs and then inflated so that the ribs appear in very shallow, nearly imperceptible relief. A long, thin trail of dark blue glass spirals around the object, forming an irregular pattern. Additional, shorter trails form a festooned design around the base of the neck, and four small blue blobs dot a larger band created by the spiraling trail. Bottles of this shape and decorated with blobs of glass in contrasting colors were made in Syrian glass factories between the late eleventh and the early thirteenth century. A number of comparable objects and fragments have been excavated in Hama, in west central Syria, and Raqqa, on the bank of the Euphrates River some 150 miles to the northeast.

Manufacturer: Possibly at his South Boston Flint Glass Works or; Possibly at Phoenix Glass Works (1812-27). Date: 1812-27.The chainlike decoration on this sugar bowl and pitcher (69.167) was achieved by applying two parallel threads of glass and then nipping them together to form the connected ovals. This mode of decoration dates back to ancient Roman times and was revived on sixteenth-century Venetian and late-seventeenth-century English glass. It appeared again on English glass in the second half of the eighteenth century. Thomas Cains, who came from Bristol, England, was the proprietor of both firms that may have produced these pieces.

This laburnum wood goblet is one of a pair, probably dating from the eighteenth century. We can tell that it was made on a pole lathe because the point where the goblet was held in place on the lathe leaves a characteristic mark on the base. It is very difficult to date these plain wooden goblets accurately as styles and patterns changed very slowly over the years. Laburnum wood was an interesting choice for this goblet as its warm tones and contrasting dark heart and yellow sapwood help to add a certain beauty and finesse to an otherwise everyday object.Pitcher 1880 Yorkshire. Christopher Dresser was known for prioritizing an objectís function while still maintaining geometric elegance. He gave special consideration to the placement of spouts and handles on vessels, such as this pitcher designed for Linthorpe Art Pottery. Dresser looked to a variety of cultural sources for inspiration. The shape of this pitcher is an adaptation of ancient Greek Cycladic jugs, the incised decoration was likely copied from Bronze Age pots excavated in Yorkshire, and the dripped glazing effect is based on Japanese Raku pottery.. Lead-glazed earthenware . Christopher Dresser (Designer)Bottle with Cut Design 7th-8th century The white lines on the surface of this small bottle were engraved with a rotating device. This decorative technique carries on the tradition of late Roman vessels engraved in a similar fashion. The similarity to Roman glasswork suggests that this piece dates from a transitional period, early in Islamic history.. Bottle with Cut Design 448356Unknown, Sugar Bowl, 1800-40, cobalt blue glass.
