Each month historian Kathy Grant explores a specific aspect of glassmaking history while guests enjoy lunch from our favorite deli, Chicco Baccello.

In October, Kathy will present the etched designs used by Duncan & Miller, surely one of the reasons they were known as the ‘loveliest glassware in America’.

Our L&L series has been very popular, and guests enjoy the Q&A sessions after each presentation.

Future topics to be announced – watch our website for details or email sherri@duncan-miller.org.

DID YOU KNOW?

The manufacture of glass in Washington, Pennsylvania, was stimulated by the discovery of abundant oil and natural gas in the 1880s. The Duncan & Miller factory was the second of the six factories producing glass of all types, from window glass to fine tableware, located in Washington by 1900.
