2012 Collector's Edition John Greene Vessel

2012 Collector's Edition John Greene Vessel

This piece is only available in 2012 and has Jamestown Glasshouse 2012 as well as a number etched onto the glass. This piece is an adaptation of a carafe shaped vessel, found in the drawings of John Greene, of the London Glass Seller's Company. This company imported large quantities of glass from Venice, Italy between 1667 and 1673. The drawings were sent to Venetian glassmaker Allesio Morelli. These drawings illustrated nearly five hundred glasses to be made.
All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same. This item does not contain lead.

DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
