The story of Mosser Glass dates back to more than half a century ago when it was initially called the Cambridge Glass Company. Thomas Mosser, a teenager at the time, was employed there by his father, Orie. When Cambridge Glass closed in 1954, it was Tom who decided to build a company of his own.
Tom spent five years acquiring glass molds and searching for affordable equipment. It was the year of 1959 when he began to finally manufacture glassware. The setting was an abandoned chicken coop! It was two years later that he was able to leave the coop and start the Variety Glass Company, producing glass for the pharmaceutical industry.
It wasn’t until 1971 that Tom established Mosser Glass. This new factory was not only more efficiently run than his previous endeavor, but it also proved to provide a higher quality of glassware. Mr. Mosser was able to acquire new designs and timeless classics that included Viking, L.G. Wright, and, of course, Cambridge Glass.
Today Mosser Glass employs more than 30 people. Family members sustain the tradition of operating the company. The idea that the family ‘brings new ideas to the company without the loss of the traditions our customers cherish’, is the very reason for the existing legacy. ‘Blending beauty and fine craftsmanship in every piece of glassware we produce’, is their motto.
