DESCRIPTION

Wonderful Mt. Washington amberina punch cup, shaded top to bottom from red to amber color.  Hand blown.  Diamond pattern. Applied strap handle with ribbed texture.  Hand blown. Mt. Washington Glass Company or New England Glass Company.

The Mount Washington Glass Works began operating in 1837 in the Mount Washington area of South Boston, Massachusetts and continued operating there until the factory was closed in 1870 when thy moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts.  In 1884, they began using the name Amberina. The glass was made by adding gold to an amber mixture, resulting in a shading from amber to red.  New England Glass Company, however, was producing a similar ware at the same time and under the same name. A lawsuit ensued and the result was that New England Glass Company was allowed to keep the name, Amberina, and Mount Washington was forced to use a different name.
