The Jeannette Glass Company |

March 16th, 2008 by Just Glass Oline Staff
 The Jeannette Glass Company operated for nearly 100 years and was well known for the Depression glass kitchen and tableware patterns they produced. When the O’Neill semi-automatic bottle blowing machine was introduced in 1899, Jeannette Glass automated and mass produced bottles, wide mouth jars, relishes and pressed glass products including automobile headlamp lenses, vault lights and glass building blocks. Innovative and prolific in its product lines, Jeannette was an early American producer of machine made pressed glassware and other glass products. By the 1920s, the Jeannette Glass Company had expanded and grown to manufacture a wide range of glass products for medical, industrial and home uses. In 1924, they introduced their tableware products, which are now known as Depression glass. Today, many of Jeannette’s tableware patterns are very popular with collectors and enthusiasts. Jeannette captured market share in kitchenware and tableware during the Depression era, producing Jadite, Jennyware and Delphite glassware products in pink, green, crystal, and ultramarine. After World War II, Jeannette ramped up production and was again successful in the post war era, buying the McKee division from Thatcher Glass Manufacturing in 1961. The company continued to operate until 1983, when production finally shut down. Trademarks include J in a square, J in a triangle and J in the bowl of goblets.  The Harp pattern by the Jeannette Glass Company is just one of the many well known patterns this company made.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I managed to find a beautiful shell pink footed berry bowl in the crysanthemum pattern. It is a copy I think of a pattern from a company that made custard glass, but with slight changes. The Louis XV is custard with gold accents on it, but the pattern is very similar. I am trying to find out if Jeanette Glass Co. made any crysanthemum pattern bowls. It really looks like their work, as the spaces in between the patterns has lots of small raised dots. Can anyone help me figure out what I have. Thanks, Ellie

At a flea market, I found two blue-and-white tall drinking glasses with Egyptian motifs. The pattern looks similar to the Hellenic pattern made by Jeannette glass. In this case the white figures on a blue background are Egyptian rather than Grecian. There is a gold band around the top. Does anyone know anything about that pattern?
Thanks!
