In 1944 the company was renamed Viking Glass. Their use of color in their glassware was what they became known for. Their line include everything from glass for the boudoir and lamps, to smoking and liquor sets, and included tableware and decorative art glass designs.

In the late 1950’s, Viking featured modern shapes and designs, such as this line. It was shown in the “Gift and Art Buyer”, August 1959.
