Waffle and Thumbprint Glass Pattern
This variation on the traditional Waffle pattern was produced from the 1850′s through the 1870′s by various glassworks, including the Boston & Sandwich Glass Co., the New England Glass Co. and Curling, Robertson & Co. It alternates panels with thumbprints with waffled panels. It is known mostly in clear flint glass pieces, but some were also produced using the less desirable and cheaper lime formula process.
