History

The company was founded by Eric Lovell in 1973.[2] In the late sixties, Lovell had rediscovered the glass-making technique of ring mottle glass, which was invented by Tiffany Studios and lost when it closed in 1928.[3]

In late 2016, the company was sold to Oceanside Glasstile, based out of Carlsbad, California. The company has been making glass for 25 years. The Portland facility will stop making sheets of glass by February 2017 and resume after moving equipment to Tijuana, Mexico, in May.[4]
