HISTORY OF CAMBRIDGE GLASS COMPANY:
The Cambridge Glass Company was founded in Cambridge, Ohio in 1901 and first produced glass in 1902. In 1903-1904, the first trademark used was “Near Cut”. However McKee Glass Company used the same trademark around the same date. Later in 1932, the trademark used was a C in a triangle. Mostly clear glass was produced until 1930. The colored glass came into being after 1930 and continued up to 1950.
This company produced great colored glass and is held in high esteem today by many collectors and commands very high prices for the better and rarer pieces.
This company changed ownerships numerous times and had many turbulent moments throughout its existence and finally in 1958, it sold out all its molds to Imperial Glass Company of Bellaire, Ohio. So any glass you see today that looks like Cambridge is produced by Imperial and carries the logo IG overlapped and is definitely produced after 1953 when Imperial Glass first used this logo to distinguish from their older pieces of the 1910-1920’s periods.
CONDITION: Excellent! There are no cracks or chips.
