Eighteenth-Century Glassware
about 1786
Rare American Glass
These free-blown glass tumblers were made by German craftsman John Frederick Amelung, who opened his New Bremen Glass Manufactory in Frederick, MD, in 1785. The engraved glassware was most likely a present marking the wedding of William and Abigail Goddard--"WAG"--who were married on June 1, 1786. William Goddard was the Comptroller of the General Post Office in Baltimore, MD.
