Visions In Glass
City Glass Specialty, Inc., established in 1944, is
a diversified business designed to meet the on-going concerns of the
glass industry without sacrificing the personal needs of its
customers.
City Glass was originally designed to be a stained
and leaded glass studio catering to new construction of stained and
leaded glass windows for churches in the tri-state region. Within
the first five years of the company's birth, a retail trade
consisting of pictures, mirrors, and an auto glass department
blossomed, and a commercial department was started.
This sudden growth affected the Stained Glass Studio
as well. Now, not only did the sale of new stained glass windows
increase, but also the area served expanded from the tri-state
region to the entire North American continent. The Stained Glass
Studio could now offer the restoration of old stained glass windows
in addition to creating new windows.
Today, City Glass has become a multi-faceted
business complete with a gallery featuring original oil paintings
and prints, as well as limited reproductions. City Glass also
furnishes framed mirrors and decorator accessories for the home.
Our artists in the Stained Glass Studio have
expanded into the area of etching, engraving, and sandblasting
designs onto any type of glass. Even though the studio's national
reputation is firmly built within the sacred setting, the studio now
executes commissions for both professional and residential clients.
We at City Glass Specialty, Inc., hope that this
exhibit will demonstrate that light not only illuminates the design
in glass but also invests the design with a living radiance,
transforming common light into a miracle of beauty, hence seen
through our "Visions in Glass".
