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 oringinal 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.
The
art glass #1431 “Amber 6 Petal” fruit bowl we offer, was produced by the Viking
Glass Company, circa 1960's, in the popular
Epic line.
