About Phoenix Glass Company: Phoenix Glass Co. was founded in 1880 in Pennsylvania. For glass collectors, Phoenix Glass is primarily associated with Sculptured Art Glass, which they produced from 1933 to 1958. The glass was hand-blown into molds with patterns having bold designs raised prominently from the background. Contrasting colors were then wash-applied to either the background or to the relief designs and the glass was then fired. From 1933 to 1936, Phoenix Glass leased the molds from the Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company produced Consolidated’s Martele designs under the name the Phoenix Reuben line. Phoenix stopped making Sculptured Art Glass in 1958, and those produced in the 1933 to 1936 period are highly collectible and increasingly scarce.
