Rich History & Heritage
The Loveliest Glassware in America
The history of the Duncan/ Duncan & Miller Company, except for its remarkable duration, is typical of the glass industry in Western Pennsylvania. It is not unusual to trace an individual’s journey from child laborer to the principal owner of a company. It is to keep alive the history of these glass companies and their impact on the economic development of the region, that organizations such as the National Duncan Glass Society have been formed.
The National Duncan Glass Society was formed in July of 1975 to study and preserve the heritage of George Duncan & Sons of Pittsburgh and the Duncan & Miller Glass Company of Washington, PA including the design, manufacture, and marketing of its products and to celebrate the men and women who made it possible. The society maintains a museum dedicated to this goal.
