FAQs

Mary Gregory glass refers to glassware decorated with white enamel silhouettes, typically depicting children in natural settings, popularised during the late nineteenth century in the United States and Europe.

These items are crafted from coloured or clear glass, featuring hand-painted designs applied with white vitreous enamel, often fired at high temperatures to bond the pigment to the glass surface.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-mixed enamel texture, pontil marks on the base, metal mount characteristics, and appropriate wear consistent with age.

These small decorative pieces function effectively on dressing tables, mantelpieces, or bedside tables, adding historical character and a splash of colour to minimalist spaces.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive cloths that can damage the delicate enamel work.
