In the late 1880s, a bottle works company carrying the Jeannette name was established in 1898, it became the Jeannette Glass Company and continued to produce hand- made bottles, wide mouth jars and other containers for food storage. Jeannette continued to expand, and they began to produce table and kitchenware
Jeannette became popular as a Depression Glass master. Among its most popular names were Adam, Anniversary, Cherry Blossom, Doric, Iris, Doric and Pansy, Floral Poinsettia, and Floragold. Their primary-colored glass was pink, green, crystal, delphite, jadeite and ultramarine. They were one of the major producers of Jadeite and Delphite Glassware. So many of their items were among the most coveted.
In 1961, Jeannette was producing glassware for wholesale and retail businesses. A major factor in their success was the perfection of machine-driven glassware production. They closed their doors in 1983.
Bowditch has many pieces of depression glass made by Jeannette. They are gorgeous when sitting in the sunlight.
