The Glass of New England 1818-1888
The glass industry was attracted to New England for many of the same reasons it
was attracted to other locations throughout history; access to natural fuel
resources, availability to world marketplaces, and a ready work force. Of the
many glass houses in New England in the early to mid-1800s, two of the best
known were The New England Glass Company and The Boston and Sandwich Glass
Company. The New England Glass Company was located in the Cambridge area of
Boston. The use of the term "Cambridge Glass" in literature has led to some
confusion with the somewhat later Cambridge Glass Company of Cambridge, Ohio.
The New England Glass Company was incorporated in 1818. Deming Jarvis, the only
one of the four owners with practical business experience, was to run the shop.
Mr. Jarvis, born in Boston into a wealthy family, had working experience in the
dry goods business before joining the NEGC. He had a unique talent for selecting
the right men and getting them to come to work for him, including some of
Europe's most skillful cutters. Deming's father died in 1823, leaving him with
considerable wealth and he spent some time in Pittsburgh
studying the local methods of glass making.
