Description |
The White Glass Works (1815-1851) was the first recognized glasshouse in Ohio. Organized by a group of citizens including Issac Van Horne and his son-in-law Dr. John E. Hamm, the glasshouse blowers produced bottles and flasks for commercial purposes and fine tableware. They created plain free-blown pieces and pattern-molded bowls, pitchers, sugar bowls, and more featuring ribbed, swirled, diamond, and other patterns likely influenced by Henry William Steigle designs produced in Manheim, Pennsylvania. |
