The major producer of Amberina in the U.S. was the New England Glass Company, Toledo, Ohio, who patented the process in 1883 and thus prevented competitors from making the glass without a license. It's successor, the Libbey Glass Company made the glass into the 1890's. 


Circa late 1800's

EXCELLENT CONDITION, No chips, cracks or repairs, a couple of very tiny inclusions to glass in handle
