<p>[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 1841363, member: 70"]Hooo Boy... Mary Gregory was a young woman who painted at the Boston & Sandwich glass factory sometime in the 19th Century. This is fact. The Barlow and Kaiser four book series on Sandwich glass very gently points out that the bulk of the work done by Mary Gregory was of the "Farmyard in snow painted on white glass" variety. the white glass representing the snow on the ground and roofs. Left out of the books, but they often related privately the finding in her attic a box of gathered balls, possibly kept when found in her yard. Didn't like little boys and girls playing in her yard. This last an assumption. It is known that once impasto painting on glass could be done to emulate cameo carving, it was done indiscriminately by anyone with a brush and a kiln where they could fire the decoration. (This last, too, is speculation) but Mary Gregory didn't do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
