National Museum of Cambridge Glass, Cambridge, Ohio 2. Fenton Art Glass Company (museum on site), Williamstown, WV 3. Heisey Museum, Newark, Ohio 4. Historical Glass Museum, Redlands, California All of the above have web sites - do a Google search to find them. Other glass museums exist as well, but I don't currently have all the addresses. If you are interested, contact me and I'll do some digging. The National Depression Glass Association is in the process of planning a museum, but no firm decision has been made on location.

However, on our web page at: http://www.glassfactorydir.com/Org.html there is a link to the Glass Packaging Institute. Their members are glass bottle manufacturers and distributors. When you get to their website, look at the navigation bar running accross the center of the page and click on "Find a supplier." There is then a link to "Members" and you will find that a list of distributors is available there. If you have not previously seen the kind of bottle you want to buy, it is important to realize that glass bottles are made to order, not on speculation. If you are buying small quantities, you will need to find a bottle that suits your needs in the kinds of bottles currently manufactured.

Off and on for many months I have been searching for a glass manufacturer of glass bottles. I have found sites for companies in China, Italy, and Portugal, but none so far here in the USA. Today, I'm not big enough to order thousands of items at one time, but one day I hope to be. I would like to find a directory of US Companies that produce the type of glass item I am looking for. So far my search has produced very little and has been frustrating. Any suggestions? Today is the first time I have seen your Blog on Glass.
