It was one of several emerging glassware companies amid the rising practice of hosting cocktail hours in American society. The company initially made glassware with acid-etched, sandblasted, hand-painted, or silk-screen designs.In the late 1950s, the company used a unique, classified process of applying gold to the outer surface of its glass. This technique resulted in glassware featuring decals, patterns, and inscriptions in 22-karat gold, for which Culver Glass soon became famous… Culver Glass produced over seventy-five designs, including Seville, Antigua, Canella, Samoa, Barcelona, Tyrol, Mardi Gras, and Terrazo. At its peak in the 1960s and 1970s, it was sold in the finest department stores and offered customers interesting bar set configurations like the “Ferris wheel” carrier.After moving its production to New Jersey in 1980, Culver Glass released its barware patterns using pre-made blank glasses from other manufacturers. It also began scaling back its gilded designs as it became the leading importer of ice buckets and barware. It focused instead on typical designs like paisley, leaves, wildlife, and sea life…The Moderne Glass Company purchased Culver Glass in 1996…”—edited from www.worthpoint.com less
