NOTE:
Smith Glass has been crafting handmade American-pressed glass since 1907. Known for creating the first headlight lens for the Model T Ford, and the original glass mixing bowl, Smith Glass company’s high-quality pieces play an important role in the tabletop, giftware, and lighting industries. Like all the other glass companies of the time, L.E. Smith began producing colored glass in the mid 1920’s. Pink, green, amber, yellow, amethyst and cobalt were being made as early as 1926.
