Born of the
basic elements of earth, sand, water and fire...glass and pottery
have been an essential part of developing civilizations from the
very beginning.
Many believe the potter to be the first craftsman, dating as far back as the
prehistoric caveman.
While the earliest records
of glassmaking date back to 3000 BC.
After 8,000 years, glass &
pottery still fulfill our everyday needs
and enrich our
surroundings.
In 1923 the Associated
Glass & Pottery Manufactures was formed to "encourage and protect
trade and commerce in glassware and pottery by holding public
exhibitions of
articles of glassware and
pottery from time to time and educating the public in the
usefulness of such."
This
partnership continues its mission to this day...
