Visitors to the Houston Museum are consistently struck by the quality of Anna Houston’s glass objects, from water pitchers (trustees counted 15,000 in her barn after her death) to a group of miniature oil “courting” lamps.  She collected very rare examples of cut glass, satin glass, Peach Blow pitchers and cruets, Burmese glass objects, cameo glass, and cranberry glass. Manufacturers represented in the collection include Steuben, Tiffany, Durand, Loetz, and Fenton. Though art glass was her specialty, Anna purchased American antique furniture too. Art glass is displayed atop sugar chests, corner cupboards, tables, and dressers. The museum displays Anna’s chairs and rockers, including a hickory “nanny cradle” dating to 1810. Music boxes, scrimshaw, coverlets and quilts, and antique German steins help round out a collection that represents many facets of Victorian life.
