Label TextVineland, NJ, Victor Durand, colorless lead glass, blown with iridescent gold, marked “DURAND” on base. By the Victorian era, glass became more than just a functional object in the home – it had new decorative uses. The secular use of stained glass in homes and businesses became more widespread and art glass objects became popular. Both European and American makers began to design and produce these works of art in glass. A vibrant community of stained glass artists developed in the region, but few regional factories or studios produced art glass. Many of these objects however inspired less expensive production lines for the mass consumer. The museum has a small collection of American and European art glass, used primarily for the purpose of exploring the larger world of glass in the period and for discussing design antecedents for regionally made products
