Questions & Answers
I have a clear holly band toothpick holder. I also have three st. clair slags. My question is the clear holly toothpick is different. One it has three hollys upper lower, the base is flat and not the indented with nipple, the vine is a straight, not wavy.
A buttonless bottom with virtually straight vine was most likely made by a foreign manufacturer and are sold wholesale by AA. Importing Company. The straight vine is definitely not a Greentown-made product.
I have a piece of glass. My grandmother said it was a spoon holder. It has the holly design and is in the amber color. She said it was holly amber. Have not been able to find the same piece online. Was wondering if you could give me an approximate va

Is there a forum where collectors can discuss Greentown Glass with other collectors? Is there one in the works? If not I think it would be a good idea for the association to look into. I think it could help us novice collectors learn from veteran collecto

I saw the orange dolphin at an auction. Can you tell me anything about it and it's value? Thanks,
The "orange" dolphin was not made by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company and is not Greentown Glass. It was most likely by either St. Clair or Summit Glass. (Reference: A Guide to Reproductions of Greentown Glass", 3rd Edition, Edited by James Measell, page 29.

Dear NGGA, We recently came across a green witch head toothpick holder and wonder how we tell whether it is a reproduction. Are there specific characteristics to look for?
Thanks so much :-)
Thanks so much :-)
The authentic Witch Head has a smooth nose tip, eyelashes that can be felt, and a dimple in the chin. Most of the reproductions have a tiny bump or blemish at the top of the forehead just below the hairline. It is my personal experience that this is one of the most difficult pieces to authenticate. Also, there seems to be many more reproductions than authentic witch heads out there. Check the "Products" section of this website for information about an available book that provides excellent drawings of both authentic and reproduction pieces.
Do you have a "Greentown Glass Festival" and, if yes, when is it during 2012? Thanks
The "Greentown Glass Festival" no longer takes place. However, the National Greentown Glass Association's annual convention takes place each year in Greentown. This year it will begin on June 8th with the annual auction of Greentown Glass. Members consign glass to be auctioneered - usually around 200 pieces. June 9th continues with the annual antique show held at the elementary school. Dealers display many types of antiques and, of course, there is always lots of Greentown Glass for sale. The annual dinner and business meeting are held on Saturday evening. Sunday the 10th features special activities for members only (see the website for information on becoming a member.
