<strong>Summit</strong> art glass no. 590 covered rabbit<br />
Russell Vogelsong produced <strong>Summit</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> No. 590 Covered Rabbits<br />
between 1979-2004. There were no Rabbits shown in the 2005 newsletter<br />
from Russ Vogelsong to his glass dealers, so this meant he was done<br />
making Rabbits by 2005. Mr. Vogelsong passed away in 2005. The 1979<br />
<strong>Glass</strong> Review ad stated the <strong>Summit</strong> Rabbit was from a new mold, not<br />
from an original Greentown mold. Russ Vogelsong had his own Rabbit<br />
mold made. <strong>Summit</strong> Rabbits sit atop split ribbed bases. The rays on the<br />
bottom of the base meet at the center. Some of his Rabbit lids were<br />
stippled and rough, others were not. <strong>Summit</strong> made both "skinny" and<br />
"fat" Rabbits like Greentown did. <strong>Summit</strong>'s skinny versions were on<br />
textured dome lids while fat versions were on smooth dome lids. Rabbit<br />
lids or bases may be marked 'V' inside a ring. Both pieces may be<br />
marked. Some Rabbits are unmarked. Vogelsong didn't begin regularly<br />
marking his animal covered dishes until 1984-'85. 5 1/2" long.<br />
Quick ID tip: There are several other Rabbits that look similar to<br />
<strong>Summit</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> Rabbits. If you have an unmarked Rabbit in<br />
Chocolate Milk <strong>Glass</strong> on a split ribbed base, it is probably by <strong>Summit</strong>.<br />
Note that St. Clair did not produce any Rabbits. Kemple did not<br />
produce Chocolate Rabbits. Wheaton did not produce Chocolate<br />
Rabbits and Westmoreland did not produce Chocolate Rabbits<br />
(Westmoreland Rabbits are on wide ribbed bases). Rosso Wholesale<br />
DID sell Chocolate Rabbits but are atop wide ribbed bases and<br />
marked WESTMORELAND III. McKee <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Company</strong> and Greentown<br />
Rabbits were altogether different.<br />
<strong>Summit</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> produced low numbers of covered Rabbits marked<br />
McKEE. SEE SUMMIT, MCKEE LOGO.<br />
