By James G. McCollam Q. This bottle and jar are deep red glass with raised white figures. The pontil marks on the bottoms would indicate that these are blown glass. What can you tell me about their origin, vintage and value? A: This is called Mary Gregory Glass. Acording to legend there was a worker at Boston and Sandwich Glass Co. named Mary Gregory. who developed this type glass. There is no factual evidence to support this story. These were made in the late 19th century. The bottle would be worth about $125 — more if it had a stopper. The jar would be worth at least $75.

We shook our heads. Stud tollowed-FeTIO the ta- ble and said, "Are we ready to order now?" No sooner had Dick and Bernice agreed to share the salad when a ta- ble appeared and Stud nar- rated the drama of the birth of a Caesar salad like a mid- wife. Meanwhile, Frank ( the chef ) appeared with a naked fish which he stuck under my nose for approval. (Thank God 1 didn't order the strangled duck! ) After the salad table came another ta- ble with flames leaping off it and Stud once again electri- fied us with his commentary on sauce for the Moroccan with a key around his neck and a book that weighed 36 pounds and introduced him- self as our wine steward.

Have a good din- ner." I said, "Thank you, Hal, I'm Erma and this is my husband, Bill, and our friends, Dick and Bernice." •Inside, we were seated when a young women ap- peared and Said, “Gotid evening.

Are these more valuable than pieces marked, -Made in Japan"? A. The "Occupied Japan" period was from 1946 to 1952, the years the United States maintained a military gov- ernment in Japan. Items made during this time are not more valuable than those marked, "Made in Japan". This mark was used from 1921 to 1941 and from 1952 to the present. Some collectors like to specialize in "Occupied Ja- pan" collectibles and prices are controlled largely by quality. At the top of the field are well -made, handpainted porcelain figurines. Many of - these are selling in the $50 to $100 range and will increase rapidly in value.
