The Jeannette Glass Company operated for nearly 100 years and was well known for the Depression glass kitchen and tableware patterns they produced.The Jeannette Bottle Works Company began in 1887, in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. In 1898 Jeannette Bottle Works became the Jeannette Glass Company and began to produce bottles made by hand. 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.Some of the most popular Jeannette Glass Company patterns include:
- Adam
- Anniversary
- Cherry Blossom
- Cubist
- Doric
- Floral
- Flora-gold
- Holiday
- Iris and Herringbone
- Poinsettia
- Sierra
- Swirl
- Windsor
Please tell me where I can get information as to value of the complete set of Jeanette Junior Cherry Blossom Glass Dishes which is a childs tea service set, in the original box.
A lady in my church choir (no coputer knowledge) is wondering how to go about finding what it’s value might be now? Am trying to assist her in this matter.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Regards – Elaine Donnelly

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!

This message is for Elaine Donnely. I collect these sets and I paid $100.00 for the last set I purchased. It did not have the box. There are also reproduction sets – so one has to be careful. I too would be interested in this set. My email address is LadyLindaK@comcast.net – so please contact me if your friend is interested in selling.
THANKS!
Linda

I found a blue candy jar and cover set in the unopened original box – contained in plastic shrink wrap. The side of the box has Colorama accessories printed and it is item number 3525. Does anyone know the years this was produced and an approximate value in this condition?
Thanks

On a trip to Lewsisburg, WV, I found a Jeanette Iris Vase in a color I had never seen before and purchased it since the price was similar to the marigold vases I’ve bought in the past. It is green on the top half and transitions to royal blue in the bottom half. I don’t believe this is an official color for Iris, so I have no idea if this is an experimental piece or not. If anyone has any information of idea on value please contact me.
Thanks,

I have a Jeanette Twelve Ring console set consisting of a large bowl (with wear in the iridescence) and two candlesticks. All three are in mint condition, with no nicks or cracks, except for the color wear on the bowl. If you are interested in purchasing them, please contact me.

I have the 10 1/2 inch pointed edge bowl, pink in the windsor pattern. I have one depression book from 10 years ago valuing it at $135 That was 10 years ago and I know values fluctuate, been trying to find out what the value is. I haven’t seen one sell on ebay in ages. I can’t find anything on this particular bowl anywhere.

Looking for info on a bowl I have that is double handled with swans. About 7/1/2″. The swans crimp the bowl in the middle their wings fanning out on both sides. Looks depression era.
Thank you
