EAPG
is shorthand for Early American Pattern Glass, which is also known simply as 'pattern glass', 'pressed glass', or 'Victorian glass'. It is generally pressed glass tableware sets and novelty items with embossed or intaglio patterns made during the Victorian period ca. 1850-1910, by hundreds of glass factories. EAPG includes many different types of glass such as crystal (flint), opalescent, cased and custard. Some Crystal is decorated with Ruby Flash or Ruby Stain; some Custard with Blue or Nutmeg Stain; both may have Gilt trim and/or accents. In the case of 'Goofus' glass, items may be either all-over painted or just pattern-painted. Cased glass may be satinized and/or quilted. EAPG was succeeded by iridized 'Carnival Glass' (1907-1930s), and then in the 1930s and 40s by what is now referred to as 'Depression Glass'.
Goofus Glass
is what we now call pressed or mold-blown glass, from the early 1900s, that was cold-painted either in its entirety (
all-over decorated
) or just on the embossed or intaglio design (
pattern decorated
). Goofus Glass was originally marketed under fancy names like "Oriental Art" or "Egyptian Art", but when it was found that the paint had a tendency to flake off with handling and washings, the name Goofus arose and stuck.
Original paint
indicates that, while some touch-up of the backing gold may have occurred, much of the original paint is still on the glass.
Repainted
means that I have totally re-done the decoration to highlight and enhance the intricate design created by the mold maker. These pieces will be clearly identified as repainted or re-imagined.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that a
listed
item has no discernible post-production damage (chips, cracks, etc.) but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s: air bubbles not squeezed out during pressing; inclusions of ash or debris from dirty conditions;
strands of undissolved colorant; lines called
straw marks where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint; marks from shaping tools used to form the edge; mold issues such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points; cooling issues such as
uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking; heat checks which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable, they do not qualify as "damage".
