Summary

Description
English: This array of objects - at left, a large vase and perfume bottle of milky lead glass enameled with floral designs and inscriptions; at right, a vase and cream pitcher in colorless, translucent frosted glass, designed in the proprietary "Pomona" pattern - were manufactured in the 1870s and 1880s, respectively, by the New England Glass Company of East Cambridge, Massachusetts. One of the best-known and most prolific American glasshouses of its era, not to mention the only one that had steam-powered cutting machines and ovens capable of manufacturing red lead for flint glass - the New England Glass Company was famous throughout most of the 19th century for artfully crafted designs such as this, before transitioning to a focus on bottles and automotive glass in the following century as a division of Libbey-Owens-Ford (later Owens-Illinois). As seen in the "35 Centuries of Glass" gallery during an April 2022 visit to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.
