One of our most viewed display cabinets when we have visitors to the museum. These two shelves feature our Ala Bock and Alhambra patterns. Very few examples and forms exist in these patterns. These patterns are mould blown and only known in opalescent colors. Show us your examples!

These could be the most overlooked items in the museum. There are less than a dozen of these known to exist and we are lucky enough to have 3. We have one on loan to the Greentown Glass Museum. These are extremely hard to find, especially with gold staining. Next time you are in the museum make sure to ask to see them. This pattern was only produced in this form.

Blue opalescent bowls in the Banded Star & Fan pattern. This pattern was named by Ron Teal in his 1997 book. Mike Mavis was the one who found a full example by matching it up to shards found at the factory site. Up until a few years ago, it was believed to only have been produced in clear. These blue opalescent examples open the possibility to many more colors that may have been produced. Do you have any opalescent examples?

Serving tray in the Gem pattern. This pattern was introduced while Model Flint was located in Findlay, Ohio. These trays are very difficult to locate making the complete drinking set hard to achieve. This pattern is known to be produced in clear and also with ruby staining.

All known colors of serving trays in the Peerless pattern. These were commonly sold as part of a drinking set with decanter and drinkware. Clear examples are somewhat common, but good luck finding one in green or amber. The Peerless pattern was the most extensive produced in Albany with over 45 unique forms.

Ribbed Spiral No. 911 pattern jelly compotes. This pattern was introduced in the last 1-2 years of Model Flint's production in Albany. Many examples can still be found today, which hints that it was very popular and produced up until the factory closed in October 1902. Many examples in this pattern are still highly sought after today, such as swung vases in various heights and water/table sets.
