May 22, 2023 | Museum Monday Treasures

Today’s Museum Monday treasure from the Museum of American Glass in WV is a pair of photographs taken by the L. E. Smith Glass Company to advertise their Tulip Medley line, which was produced from ca. 1988-1994. We were fortunate to acquire a large collection of factory photographs after Smith closed its doors that supplement the catalogs in our archives. These photographs feature the No. 7790P basket and No. 1490P round platter.
