American Glass

Thanks to very generous gifts from 5 different donors, SAMFA has a growing collection of American Manufactured Glass. This is only a small selection from over 3,000 objects that range from the Colonial period to the 1980's. The collection of manufactured glass is a wonderful complement to the art glass in our collections, several examples of which are also pictured here.

Use of our images of the artwork is permitted as long as you follow our photo policy.
