Glass Maker?

Would anyone know who made this glass? It is thick, dimpled and has a pontil mark on the bottom. Measures 7.5" by 6". Thank you!

 

Could be modern Chinese,they are turning out some amazing stuff lately. Your pictures are fantastic.

 

That crossed my mind. Thank you for the nice comment!

 

Agreeeeeeee.....great pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I agree nice pics. The other possibility in Mexico.

 

Does the cork look older? The Jar could be 1970s. I love amber glass.

 

You might look into Blenko. They made canister sets and other pieces with rolled rims and cork (and wood) stoppers in the 1970s. I've never seen any of them in person. And looking at the catalog photos available, the glass doesn't appear to be textured. But I found an example on Worthpoint claiming to be Blenko, and the glass was textured.

Blenko catalog site: http://www.blenkoproject.org/

The first canister set and cork-stoppered items start showing up around 1972, but with smooth-appearing glass and non-rolled rims. Rolled-rim large items start showing up around 1974, and then rolled-rim canisters in 1977 (in the Blue Top Mountain Glass line). But you'll notice by then the listed sizes of the canisters are larger than yours. The other thing is that several of those catalog scans have missing pages, and cut-out areas.

So, I think it's possible yours is Blenko, but I can't be certain. Hope this doesn't send you on a wild goose chase.

 

Whoops - forgot to link the set on Worthpoint:

The listing doesn't include a pic of the bottom, unfortunately. The measurement of the tallest one is close to yours. But I was unable to find any set with those measurements in the catalogs.

 

The corks looked like they had been around for awhile and needed a good cleaning.

 

Thank you for all the information! Yes, that set on Worthpoint is just like this one. I have the two largest pieces in that set. I looked through the Blenko booklets and like you said the glass is smooth in those. I'll keep looking into this and post anything that I find.

 

You're welcome. You also might try contacting the owner of the Blenko Project site. She also has a blog which you could search through, and posts regular articles about the company / history / pieces in the local paper, etc.

Most Blenko info that people share is geared toward the art glass and rare pieces. They also did lots of everyday, utilitarian ware like this meant to be used in the home, a lot of which no one would guess was by the same company.

 

This doesn't make sense to me. They say it is Pilgrim glass, but it is made in Portugal.
From a Pintrest page

 

I just found another on another pinterest page and they attribute it to Wheaton Glass.

 

Just wanted to update this thread. This jar looks to have been made by Pilgrim glass. Here is a jar that was listed on Ebay and also a catalog with them in.

Very good of you to come back and let us know.

So wonder how the pintrest page person came up with the Portugal part after saying Pilgrim. That really confused matters.
