According to the Encyclopedia of Glass by Mark Pickvet, ”Viking Glass Company was an American company established at New Martinsville, West Virginia in 1944 as a result of the purchase of the New Martinsville Glass Company. Viking continued using some of the New Martinsville’s original molds to produce glass tableware and novelty items.”
The art glass items produced the following thirty years have become increasingly popular and valuable due to their high quality and unique features.
