It was founded in 1951 by Corning Glass Works and currently has a collection of more than 45,000 glass objects, some over 3,500 years old.

 Charles Hajdamach tells us that this is the definitive text, superbly written by David in 1994 and we have been extremely lucky to acquire it. For those interested in Cameo Glass this is a “must have” so make sure you buy your raffle ticket.
