Libbey has a long and prolific history. Edward Libbey, known as the father of the U.S. glass industry, founded Libbey glass in 1888 after heading the New England Glass Company. Libbey was heralded for it’s superior quality glassware. Over the years Libbey adapted to the changing economy and market developing more affordable everyday glass forms. Libbey is still in business today, a miracle to be sure. Most U.S. glass makers of the past failed to adapt and went out of business before the 1980’s.
