Note the difference in form both of the neck and handle. According the the catalog page sent to us by the owner of the item in question, shown below, BSGC did make glossy finish pitchers, so the difference in finish is not definitive. Our BSGC product has been sandblasted to give it a matte finish, but others would instead have been flame polished to a glossy finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/d0041ec3-2529-41cc-8c9c-157ca75647d6/image3.png SHS History Corner - Original, or knockoff? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/stories/childrens-toy monthly 0.5 2024-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/958f08bf-b5ee-4cb3-aedf-84ea038e0066/image1.jpeg SHS History Corner - Children’s Toy - From the Community This is the photo we were sent.

Beach sand is too impure to make glass, which requires pure quartz silica. The Company shipped in pure silica supplies first from New Jersey and New York, and later from the Berkshire Hills in western Massachusetts. Jarves chose Sandwich because of its proximity to a shallow harbor and the possibility of a canal being built through Cape Cod that would allow for the shipment of goods. The local availability of timber could be used to fuel the glass furnaces. Even the salt marsh hay and grasses could be used for packing material. Jarves brought master glassblowers with him from the New England Glass Company. He also recruited workers from England and Ireland. English and Irish glassmakers were considered the foremost craftsmen during the early 19th century. They were very skilled in making blown glassware with high lead content, the most desirable of the period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/c32d0901-e2a2-4b33-aaec-b447d9e0f083/lacy_480x480.jpeg SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out Lacy Glass c.1835 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/09e1a168-d2b5-4140-b676-6aa8c4d1dc35/candlesticks2-scaled-758x1024_480x480.png SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out Pressed glass candlesticks c. 1845 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/7518d204-2d05-4f51-aebf-0ae5b3559261/factory_1024x1024.jpeg SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out The Sandwich Glass Company factory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/4c6396b4-cb72-4bc4-8cd9-e2be0e804bab/trevaise_480x480.png SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out Trevaise c.1907 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/8dca2441-3807-454d-bfff-6e97150dc5c8/HBF-brooch_480x480.png SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out Hazel Blake French Brooch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/153fcc85-66b4-4ca8-a303-ad4c7e33917b/SGM-1_1024x1024.png SHS History Corner - Sandwich Town History - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/stories/tag/%F0%9F%87%BA%F0%9F%87%B8%23America250+%23SandwichMAHistoricalSociety monthly 0.5 https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/home daily 1.0 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/907309b5-0311-466d-ab1b-c18c2c18010b/shs-square-w-sgm-footer-only.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/b819eb53-b2b0-4250-b757-cc4a80e6663e/spite_barn_closeup.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/19138795-d992-4189-9492-66878d8198f7/1907.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/4766640b-591b-4e46-ae21-4f233cbe301e/1925.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/365a182d-3a2a-4a1e-91d3-50e10e737248/TownHall1870s.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/8bf5bd11-b089-4673-81bf-52fba7c5feae/hot-shop.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/7d4ce4ab-12ad-4f04-8e60-e4e53d1cd789/bowl.png https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/research/family-files daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/16868350-0764-417c-9e90-3c49bec23f17/shs_profile.jpeg https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/b762a0f4-c678-4dd4-bf50-ebe037a6278a/kiddo-cropped.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/610e56ae-888d-4153-af16-758517b3c1dd/2551105747_Sandwich_glass.jpg https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/research/acorn-articles daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/research daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665b791d45085e3efc50ff8a/33a0a006-bf5d-40f4-8d7a-8ef971708cea/bsgc_factory_2.jpeg https://www.sandwichhistoricalsociety.org/archives-finding-aid daily 0.75 2026-04-03
