-- Pattern Details
MITCHELL (OMN) gill
• AKA:
• Gillinder & Sons Incorporated (Philadelphia/Greensburg-PA, Operated: 1863-Today), Introduced: c.1878 but likely few years earlier
• NOTE: Sid EAPG (Lethbridge 2023): As was Gillinder's practice, some items like goblets, celeries, etc. were given numbers in addition to the pattern name. For example, the Mitchell celery was just shown as No. 9 celery in the catalogue but in price lists it was designated as Mitchell. The cuts are from a c1878 catalogue but the date of introduction for this line likely dates to a few years earlier. In 1873, A H Baggs patented a method of making this type of ware with no mould lines on the bowls of goblets, celeries, etc. The following year, J E Miller obtained a patent for another process to do the same thing. The plain lines made using the two patents were generally called Mitchell Ware, likely a nod to an earlier cut glass line made by Boston & Sandwich (and likely others).
