Amelung glass

    0.01 sec.

Amelung glass

U.S. glass produced between 1784 and c. 1795 by John Frederick Amelung. Born in Bremen, Ger., he founded the New Bremen Glass Manufactory near Frederick, Md., U.S., with financial support from German and U.S. promoters. He attempted to set up a crafts community, importing glassworkers and other craftsmen from Germany, but the industry failed when Congress defeated Amelung's petition for a loan in 1790. Few authentic pieces of Amelung glass survive, most of them presentation pieces decorated with restrained engraving.
