Glass / Re: Mid 19th century opaline vase with ruffled rim & blue pineapple knop?

I'm a bit curious though that some of the comments might be 'politically' inspired perhaps?
I mean if someone from Boston (or any glassmaker) wanted to copy French glass, surely they could have bought the items in the States. That said, perhaps the whole range wasn't easily obtainable or available there and so the opportunity to buy up the range direct from source was too good to miss maybe?
Either way , it's an interesting report direct from the horse's mouth at the time.

. Thank you. Hopefully the info might be useful even just in terms of the list of items produced perhaps. It's not an area I collect or know anything about but I always love a list
