Annual Glass Show

The Society sponsors a Glass Show, once a year in the Spring. It is the second longest running Depression and Elegant Glass Show in the country. Featuring 20+ dealers from around the country, offering a beautiful array of mainly American glassware, Pottery and Kitchen Utensils. We will have early American pattern glass, elegant or handmade glassware, depression glassware, kitchen glassware, Pyrex, Fire King, and Fenton. There will be something for everyone. Our show dealers will also have available for sale, items to help set the table, such as linens, silverware, etc.

Glass Identifcation and Glass Repair

All weekend there will be a glass identification table, manned by Society members. Bring in that piece of glass to be identified. Our members will use the clubs extensive reference library to help in the identification.

In addition, Mary Lou's Crystal Repair will be set up and available all weekend, so bring in any pieces that have a small "ding" and see if they can be restored to near original condition.

Setting up for the Show

Most collectors go to the Glass Show with no idea of how much work goes into presenting 25 booths full of collectible American-made glass. Here are a couple of photos taken the day before the show opened, during the dealer setup time.
