Vaseline Opalescent Slipper by Mosser #052
The Mosser Glass Company was started in 1959 by Tom Mosser who had worked extensively with the Cambridge Glass Company when it was in operation. The Mosser brand is well known for their authentic reproductions of early American slippers and boots using moulds perfected in the 1900s and others designed by Mosser.

I have found a blue boot syle glass shoe from my 97 mother in law, the heel has a round plate on it, the TH intermingled in the center and trademark written in reverse on the edges. My husband seems to think it may be a wax seal or stamp of some kind. Have you ever heard of it It has been broken in the past and reglued, so I don’t think it has much value, but I would like to know the provenance.
