19th-century Blue Enameled Glass Candy Dish Known As The "mary Gregory"

Artist: Mary Gregory

This glass candy jar with a hinged lid features a deep, stunning ultramarine blue. Its white enamel decoration depicts a young girl picking wildflowers. This style is known as a “Mary Gregory,” named after the English woman who invented this technique in the 19th century. Legend has it that she lost her two children in a fire and subsequently spent the rest of her life painting enamel portraits of her children on glass objects like this one.
