Sparkling reflections: Highlights from Colonial Williamsburg’s glass collection

DATE: Thursday 21 May 2026 at 7pm BST
LOCATION:  ZOOM online
COST:  Free for members

The Colonial Williamsburg museum in Virginia, USA, has a collection of British, European and American glass spanning the 17th to the mid-19th centuries. Objects reflect documentary records and archaeological finds of early America: rare green glass roemers matching shards at Jamestown, and blue glass mugs and decanters relating to fragments found in Williamsburg. Angelika Kuettner will share these and other highlights from Colonial Williamsburg’s collection.

Angelika Kuettner has been at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation since 2008, Curator of Ceramics and Glass from 2024. She co-edited Ceramics in America 2017 issue and co-authored “English Delft for Colonial Tavern Tables in King William County and Williamsburg, Virginia” in Ceramics in America 2017 issue. She serves on the Board of the American Ceramic Circle.

To Book: Members can book with Anne Lutyens-Stobbs at GSmeetings.com before 19 May. The login details for the zoom have been emailed to members but can also be found with the event on the News & Events page.
