An ABP crystal refers to high-quality, hand-cut leaded glass from the American Brilliant Period (roughly 1876-1920), characterized by its exceptional clarity, weight, and dazzling sparkle from deep, intricate patterns cut by hand using grinding wheels, often featuring hobstars and fans, and containing high lead content for brilliance.
Made in the U.S. from around 1876 to World War I, with peak production into the early 1900s, this and the eras.
The material is high lead content (up to 50%), making it heavy, brilliant, and clear.
Meticulously hand-cut by skilled artisans using rotating wheels, with sharp, precise edges.
The design is generally complex, geometric patterns like hobstars, fans, and diamond cuts that maximize light refraction.
Heavy and thick, with cuts that feel sharp and defined, unlike smoother pressed glass.
You can identify an ABP crystal for its heavy
The sharpness is generally edges of cuts feel crisp and defined, not rounded.
The sparkle dazzles with intense brilliance under light.
The light is high-quality pieces have water-white clarity with few bubbles.
John Hoare, known as Captain Hoare, was born in Cork, Ireland, on April 12, 1822.
He learned glass cutting from his father and worked at various glass houses in England from 1842 until 1853 when he emigrated to New York.
He owned interests in several cutting firms there. In 1855 he formed the glass-cutting department of the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company and purchased their equipment.
He established a cutting shop in Corning, NY, in 1868 at the request of Amory Houghton, Sr. It was housed on the second floor of the new Corning Flint Glass Works factory. Houghton agreed to sell blanks exclusively to Hoare.
It is believed that the cut glass blank business was crucial to the Flint Glass Works’ success.
In the 1870s and early 1880s, J. Hoare
Co. was one of the largest cut glass concerns in the country. By 1873, Captain Hoare moved all of his business operations and family to Corning.
They expanded with another cutting shop in Wellsboro, PA, operating from 1906-1914.
John Hoare was a master cutter.
He won awards at various exhibitions in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and in 1893 won four medals at the Columbian Exposition including the gold medal.
The Hoare shop furnished cut glass to the White House during President Grant’s administration in 1873, believed to be in the Lincoln pattern.
Captain Hoare died in 1896 and his son James continued the business, joined by his brother John S. Hoare.
The J. Hoare
Co. firm closed in October 1920 with the decline of the cut glass industry.
