Gallery Label:
Salts in this so-called "checkered-diamond" pattern are associated with glassmaker John Frederick Amelung (1741-1798) and the New Bremen Glassmanufactory in Maryland. While this salt is very similar to documented examples from Amelung's manufactory, there are certain differences which make an Amelung attribution questionable.
