Individual condiment set in the Peerless pattern. This pattern was produced in Albany circa 1895-1902. These miniature sets are often referred to as child or toy sets. The intended purpose was for each table setting to have their own condiments. These are most commonly found in clear, but also known in green as shown. We believe it was possibly produced in amber color.

Today we feature a water set in the Albany pattern. This pattern was the first introduced after Model Flint moved to Albany. It was a limited pattern with only a dozen forms. It is most commonly found in all clear, but harder to find examples are green, amber, and cobalt blue. Rare examples have been found in opalescent colors.

Our main focus at the museum is preserving Albany history through the collection and research of Model Flint Glass. However, we do preserve other Albany historical items such as paintings, yearbooks, and this 1936 high school diploma. This diploma was donated by Diane Evans. We even have the Wildcat mascot from Albany High School. The library also displays some historical items from the high school. Stop by and check them out.

Happy Good Friday from us at the Albany Glass Museum. Pictured is the Lord's Supper Plate made in Albany by Model Flint. This was later reproduced by Indiana and Tiara Glass. The only known color produced in Albany was clear. Easiest way to tell the ones produced in Albany is the grape cluster above Jesus head. If it points toward the right, it is Albany. If it points to the left, it is a reproduction.

A pair of tankards in the Pride pattern. This pattern was introduced circa 1900 and an assortment was even sold in the Sears Roebuck Catalog. We do know that tumblers exist in amber color, but an amber pitcher or tankard has never surfaced.
