The United States Glass Company was a conglomerate of 19th-century glass manufacturers that was formed in 1891 through the merger of several smaller glass companies. The company was headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and had several subsidiary companies in other parts of the country. The company operated several large glass factories throughout the United States, including locations in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. The United States Glass Company was one of the world's largest glassware manufacturers during its time. Despite its size and success, the United States Glass Company faced significant challenges in the early 20th century, including increased competition from foreign manufacturers and the rise of new materials such as plastics. The company was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1933 and was ultimately dissolved in 1963. However, many of its products are still highly sought by collectors today.
