Book Description
This book tells the story of the "glass boom era" in northwest Ohio & how it led to the building of many glass manufacturing plants in the Findlay-Fostoria-Bowling Green-Tiffin, Ohio area. The present study features Fostoria, Ohio glass, which became world famous in a brief time. From 1887 to 1920, Fostoria had 13 glass plants with varying lifespans. Best known of the factories was the Fostoria Glass Company, which left Ohio for Moundsville, West Virginia after only four years. The glass was so nationally-popular that the name "Fostoria" was retained. Other famous glass factories were Consolidated Lamp & Glass Company, Nickel Plate Glass Company, Seneca Glass Company, Fostoria Glass Speciality Company, Mosaic Glass Company, Fostoria Shade & Lamp Company, & many more. One of the factories produced glass that was, & is, mistaken for Tiffany glass. The Fostoria glass houses featured gorgeously colored glass & a surprising number specialized in beautiful lamps. This book is a must for glass collectors, as Fostoria glass is on nearly every glass collector's wanted or interest list. Glass collectors, fanciers, & scholars will glory in the color pictures of this wide-ranging book: a study in beauty from the Gilded Age.
