A Little About Us . . .
The origins of Mosser Glass go back more than half a century to
the time when Orie Mosser was the plant manager of the Cambridge
Glass Company. His son, Thomas, began working there as a teenager,
learning the trade the right way, from bottom to top. When
Cambridge Glass closed in 1954, Tom decided to continue in the glass
business with a company of his own.
It took a while for a young man just starting in life to put
together the elements necessary to do that. He spent five years buying
glass moulds, searching for used equipment he could afford and
saving money. In 1959, he was finally able to begin manufacturing
glassware in, of all places, an abandoned chicken coop. Things worked
out and within two years, Tom was able to leave the coop and form
Variety Glass, producing glassware for the pharmaceutical industry.
From day one, Tom Mosser was committed to manufacturing
quality glassware, and his dedication brought continuing success. In
1971, he established Mosser Glass with a product line that mixes new
designs with timeless classics acquired from Viking, L.G. Wright and
of course, Cambridge Glass.
Today, Mosser Glass employs more than 30 people in an efficient
manufacturing process configured to provide the highest quality
glassware for our customers. And, the fine family tradition continues
with family members bringing new ideas to the company in keeping
with the traditions our customers cherish.
The Mosser family is proud of the legacy that Orie and Tom
began. As you look through the following pages, you will see we
continue that legacy, blending beauty and fine craftsmanship in every
piece of glassware we produce. We hope it brings you as much
pleasure as it brings us.
Dedicated to Thomas Mosser,
loving husband, father
and grandfather
