About
Why this artist matters now
Owens-Illinois Glass Company, founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1903, became one of the largest glass manufacturers in the United States, producing containers, tableware, and architectural glass for industrial and consumer markets. In the postwar period, the company expanded its output of mass-produced glassware, establishing design standards that shaped everyday domestic life. The company's functional aesthetic and commitment to mechanized production made it a significant presence in American material culture.
