Vintage Designer Spotlight - Georges Briard

As collectors and purveyors of all things vintage, we come across designers who catch our eye and appeal to our own sense of style.

Culver Glassware Identification, Then and Now

This is the third in a series of guest blog posts that I will be sharing with my readers. A small group of us, all with different backgrounds and geographical locations, have come together in an effort to share our combined vintage knowledge with all who love the vintage/antique world as we do. Visit all of us at the Vintage & Antiques Community on G+ . To read the first two blogs in the series, please click on the following links respectively . Cachepots, Jardineres, Planters and Ferners, Oh My! Native American Hallmarks by +Roma Arellano at romaarellano.com Many moons ago (okay about 10 years, still many moons:)), I carried quite a bit of Culver Glassware in my shop. At the time, there was very little info out there on the company. Considerable digging turned up a few newspaper articles that I was able to use to piece together somewhat of a bio on the company. That info was then used across the internet and now, as with all parroted info these days, is a little clo
