"Mary Gregory" is the term used to describe glassware of any color or design that has been painted with white enamel resulting in raised details which create an image. Originally only human figures were included but now any animal or scene depicted in this fashion might be termed " Mary Gregory."
The "Mary Gregory" style of painting appeared more than 100 years ago as "Painted Cameo."
Mary Gregory Glassware, 1880-1990 by R. and D. Truitt, 1992. The Truitts did extensive research on Mary Gregory, a decorator at the Boston & Sandwich Company in the late 1800's, but found no evidence that she ever painted glassware in this style.
This outside scene includes a young girl twirling a hoop at her waist,
while her dolly looks on, as it rests in a chair, obviously making this a DOLLY SHOW !
With the tree and foliage appearing to be in full bloom, and the young girl bare footed, it must be

FENTON ART GLASS
MADE IN THE USA
The Fenton Art Glass Company was founded in 1905 by Frank L.
Fenton and his brother John W. Fenton in an old glass factory building
in Martins Ferry, Ohio. They began by painting decorations on glass
blanks made by other glass manufacturers. Soon, being unable to get the
glass they needed, they decided to produce their own glass. The first
glass from the new Fenton factory in Williamstown, West Virginia, was
made on January 2, 1907. During its 106-year history, Fenton introduced
the first iridescent ware (now known as "Carnival glass") as well as
classic patterns such as Hobnail, Burmese and a wide variety of
handmade colored art glass as limited editions.
