Textured Window Glass: USA Rolled Glass Pattern Guide [1890-2020]

Newest Art Glass - Florentine Glass & Double Chipped Glass.
Americas 'Newest Art Glass!'

As the name implies, Figured Rolled Glass is an architectural glass having a figured or patterned surface impressed by rollers during the process of manufacture.  Often called ‘art glass’, ‘frosted glass’, ‘privacy glass’ or ‘obscured glass’.  The various American patterns in which this glass has been manufactured are documented in this article and they range from simple finishes to elaborate designs, giving a variety of effects.  Today this glass is almost universally used where both daylight and privacy are required but in the past, these glasses added texture and colour to leaded light windows.  The textured surface obscures the vision without impairing the transmission of daylight.

Sharing this information

We do not sell old glass, we undertook this research ‘for the public record’ and to ensure the history of these interesting glasses was open to anybody with an interest. Please include a link to this article if sharing it or posting elsewhere, either in part or full; It really did take us a lot of work to get this far and it is still regularly being updated or amended as new information is unearthed.

Any further information or glass samples you might have, that help to complete the collection, are most welcome; please email Simon.  

During the 1890’s the race to develop figured rolled glass, a sheet glass with an imprinted ornamental surface, was happening in many glassworks around the world.  Ultimately the double rolled design of Chance Brothers England, which was registered in 1890, won out to became the dominant process.

THE BONTA PLATE GLASS COMPANY, OF WEST VIRGINIA.

Bonta Plate Glass registered this design in 1894 for a table rolled patterned glass machine.  However a patent registration is not proof of a successful manufacturing process or that any production ever occurred.  By 1887 The Glasgow Plate Glass Company had perfected table rolled glass production, and many of the early patterns shown in the 1894 catalog (below) are confirmed to be Glasgow designs. Chance Brothers finally acquired the Glasgow firm in 1907/8.

Old Textured Window Glass ID Guide | American Art Glass Patterns 1“My invention relates to certain improvements in machinery for the manufacture of sheets of glass, and is more especially adapted for the production of sheets provided on one side with an embossed or ornamental surface, the object of the invention being to construct machines of this character which will accomplish its work in an effective and rapid manner, the speed of the operation being such that sheets of the largest size may be operated upon before any portion of the glass has time to cool or set to such an extent as will prevent its being successfully operated upon by the engraved or embossed rolling surface. “

Early Patterened Glass in America

Glue Chipped Glass

A pattern is created by applying hot animal glue to a sandblasted surface of sheet glass.  As the glue dries, and contracts, it pulls flakes of glass off the surface in a random fashion. It has been used since the late 1800s, clear or tinted. 

Double Chipped – When the sheet is recoated with glue and a second chipping performed, the sandblast lines disappear entirely.

Using a stencil, many shop signs or decorative geometric patterns were created this way.

Cathedral Glass

Possibly the oldest and best-known rolled glass is what is now known as “Cathedral,” being a plain rolled glass in colors, now made usually with a “hammered” surface, this being done to cover up the usual surface defects in rolled glass. Cathedral glasses seem to have developed from the original form of rolled sheet as mechanical means of handling larger sheets became known, until in its present form it is usually made in sheets 90 inches or so long. Most of the present American factories make Cathedral with a “hammered” back, though this does not prevail in Europe, the Germans, particularly, -turning out a glass with a smooth surface, as do also the Scotch, whose colors also are of a pleasing texture. The American factories have recently been making smooth-faced Cathedral, but so far the surface has been scratched badly and is very far from being up to the standard of the imported. The English double- rolled Cathedral, ‘which is rolled with an extra roller while still plastic, is well known and much liked. Contrary to expectations, the double rolling seems to produce a smoother surface, supposedly, by preventing buckling, and also seems to produce a greater density of texture. In skylight work it takes the glare out of the sunlight, letting through a very full, softly tinted light. 

Ribbed plate was the first attempt to roll glass with other than a smooth surface, but from this has grown a large class of glasses for various uses and in endless designs or patterns, such as the well- known “Florentine,” “Colonial” and “Maze”; in this class of goods the Danes seem to excel, closely followed by the English. The principal application of these glasses is in partition work or workroom windows, and with so many designs to choose from it is generally possible to get a glass that will be in harmony with the room and its surroundings.
From the making of Cathedral glass in plain colors, the next development was the mixing of two colors, and finally three or even more in the sheet. In doing this, it was found that the intro¬ duction of an opal glass brought the other colors into relief and thus gave rise to the Opal Cathedral glass, so largely used a few years ago and still used where colored glass of this type is wanted in large lights. It can be furnished up to 30 x 90 inches in size, and in a variety and combination of colors, and is also rolled, if desired, with the rippled or Etruscan backs, thus adding to its beauty and usefulness. Opal glass is rolled also in all thicknesses, and is used for covering walls wherever absolute cleanliness is desired, and for such uses as icebox linings, bathroom tiling, shelves, clock faces and, of course, plate glass any thickness is made of it in any color, but its uses are limited. 1910 Architectural record

 

 

Prismatic Glass

Prism Glass is an architectural glass which bends and projects light to illuminate areas far from windows, this is known as anidolic lighting.

prism glass drawingPrism glass was mostly used in commercial and public buildings in the first quarter of the 20th century.  Pavement lights also used prism glass to light rooms set below ground level.  The basic principle still lives on to this day with scientifically designed patterns that focus light into our rooms. Following the adoption of electric lighting, prism glass was no longer a key marketing tool and was dropped from common usage.

Pressed glass quarries and slates as well as embossed glass tiles and pavement lights also featured ornate textured designs, but this article relates only to obscured glass that was produced in sheet sizes. 

US Patents: Prism Glass

Thomas and William Farmiloe Patent 'Oceanic'Imported European Sheet Glass Designs

Before America started proper domestic production of textured rolled plate glass some rolled patterned glasses were being imported from Britain  Early US glass producers licensed European designs, or simply patented a slight variation of existing popular patterns.

It is also quite probable that other European glass designs have been sold in America, before a series of tax rises in 1860, 1890 and finally the 1920s, that effectively stopped sheet glass importation. 

See our article on European Glass Designs for many more figured glass patterns.

1894 European Rolled Glass Patterns

Muranese & Florentine Pattern Glass

The Muranese ‘daisy’ type of floral pattern was the most popular of all the Victorian patterned glasses and the term ‘muranese glass’ became common usage to include all of the fancy glass designs.

Muranese rolled figured glass was produced by both Pilkington’s and Chance’s in every colour with a choice of small, medium and large patterns. 

Origins of the glass pattern name “Muranese’

The registered design for what later was named ‘muranese’, can be traced back to Brogan & Malloch at the Glasgow Plate Glass Co. based on Murano Street in Glasgow.  Murano St is located in an area of Scotland often referred to as  “The Venice Of The North” due to the number of canals in the area, and so Murano St most likely took it’s name from the famous glass producing Venetian island for this reason.  

Florentine Glass Pattern

A similar pattern is ‘Florentine’ glass, also known as ‘Radiant’, from the USA that can be recognised by areas of banding within a less dense floral cluster.  Yet another variation has a defined circle at the centre of each flower.  It would seem likely that the original Florentine glass design was by Mississippi Glass, circa 1896. 

“Intermediate between the rough “rolled” and the “polished” plate-glass we have a variety of glasses in which the appearance of the rolled surface is hidden or disguised to a greater or lesser extent by the application of a pattern that is impressed upon the glass during the rolling process; thus we have rolled plate having a ribbed or lozenge-patterned surface, or the well-known variety of “figured rolled” plate, sometimes known as “Muranese,” whose elaborate and deeply-imprinted patterns give a very brilliant effect.” 

Early American Figured Glass Patents

A registered design is not proof that the pattern ever went into commercial production.

1893 pattern for window glass1893.  Charles Apple, Washington, Pennsylvania.

PATTERN FOB WINDOW GLASS. No. 22,982. Patented Dec. 26, 

My new design is to be used on heavy plate or window glass, or cathedral glass as it is known to the trade. That variety of plate glass is designed particularly for use in churches and elsewhere, where a soft and mellow light is to be obtained. Plate glass ornamented after my design is Well adapted for these uses, since a large proportion of any direct sun rays passing through the same are intercepted and the effects of lights and shadows thereby produced are very beautiful.

The principal feature of my new design consists in a raised figure A, having three irregular facets arranged on the entire surface of the glass.

In the drawings these figures are arranged irregularly, without any attempt to conform to any particular design or conformation. Each raised figure A, has three facets, as shown particularly in Fig. 3. The facet a, is triangular in shape and extends out from the surface of the glass at a slight angle, and converges to the apex b. The facets c, and d, are also triangular but are of smaller size than the facet a, and extend out from the surface of the glass at a greater angle than the facet a, converging also to the apex b. The facets c and d, are of the same size and have the same angle.

1894 USA Patent 'Arabesque'Application filed June 21, 1894. Serial No. 515,313. Term of patent ‘7 years.  Charles. W. CUDDON

This pattern was named Arabesque and produced by Swindell Brothers, Baltimore.

The design consists essentially of plumes grouped so as to cover thickly the surface of the glass. These plumes are so bent and arranged that they form substantially a unit square, which may indefinitely be repeated, until a sheet of glass of any desired size is closely decorated.

In order to give a uniform brilliancy to decorated sheet glass, it is necessary that the interstices between the portions of the pattern, be as few and small as possible. For this reason the plumes are turned in various directions, coiled or made straight, and certain of the plumes have vanes only on one side of the quill.

The vanes themselves are in raised relief and to secure the most brilliant effects the height of a vane should be about half of the Width of the base. It is essential that the height of the vane should be from a thirty-second to a sixteenth of an inch.

Edward Walsh & The Mississippi Glass Company

St. Louis, Missouri Est 1876 

1900 & 1901: Edward Walsh patented several sheet-glass designs that incorporated previously patented patterns, which had presumably expired.  His new patents carried the old designs on one face and fluted corrugations on the other, which presumably made this sheet-glass far more difficult to cut.

A sheet of glass ornamented and configured according to my new and original design has an appearance to the observer different from either of the designs on the opposite faces thereof. When the corrugated surface is nearest the observer, the regularity of the serpentine and swirling ribs on the reverse side is destroyed by refraction, so that the convexes of the corrugations are traversed by lights and shades at about right angles to the axes thereof, while in the concaves of the corrugations the serpentine and swirling design on the reverse side is better defined.

Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (1883 – 1968)

The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (PPG) began as the New York City Plate Glass Company when it was founded in 1880 by Captain John B. Ford, an entrepreneur, and John Pitcairn, a railroad official. The first plant was located northeast of Pittsburgh on the Allegheny River in Creighton, Pennsylvania. By 1883 the company headquarters were moved to Pittsburgh, and the plants were producing 20 million square feet of plate glass per year. Pittsburgh Plate Glass attained the size of the historic French glass makers Saint-Gobain in only six years.  

Pitcairn died in 1916, having built PPG over a 33-year period into the largest plate glass manufacturer in the United States as well as diversifying its product line and developing sources of raw material.

1968 the company changed its name to PPG Industries, Inc.

Pilkington / Libbey Owens-Ford Patterned Glass

U.S. production of rolled glass was dominated by two large firms, Mississippi Glass Co. and  American – Saint-Gobain.  This situation forced Libbey – Owens – Ford in 1960 to begin selling rolled glass produced by Pilkington Brothers.

In 1986, The Libbey-Owens-Ford Company sold its glass business and the Libbey Owens-Ford name to Pilkington Plc. In 2000 Libbey Owens-Ford changed its name to Pilkington North America, Inc.  In 2006, the Nippon Sheet Glass Group acquired Pilkington plc. becoming Pilkington NSG North America.

Benefits

Pilkington Texture (Patterned) Glass offers privacy and style throughout the home:

  • Provide different degrees of obscuration for privacy or decoration purposes.
  • Extensive range of designs and finishes.
  • Available with wired glass, and therefore suitable for glazing resistant to fire.
  • Available in toughened and laminated forms (depending on design) for safety and security performance.
  • Can be single glazed or incorporated in an Insulating Glass Unit for additional properties.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses (4, 6, 8 and 10 mm) depending on design.

None of the Pilkington patterns are designed to have an orientation (an upside) but care needs to be taken with adjacent panes that the pattern direction is maintained. There is a linear nature to Pilkington Texture Glass Warwick™ and so householders should be aware that there could be aesthetic implications when choosing this design. Also, for the glass supplier, the result may be that this pattern is less accommodating when cutting and may result in a greater proportion of waste from the original glass plate.

2020 Pilkington Oriel Collection – Etched Glazing.

“This exciting range of stunning, high-end decorative etched glass designs offer excellent light transmission with various levels of privacy. The range is available in a variety of contemporary and traditional designs, each with a modern opaque appearance.”

Please Note: Etched glass can become almost clear when wet.

Conclusion

 

“I have enjoyed the journey of research and discovery into these old patented window glass designs and the story of their manufacture, using techniques dating back over 130 years.  It is rewarding to help shed some light onto this little documented part of our architectural heritage, a part of history that we literally see the world through everyday.   I only hope that I have managed to convey the subject to you, the reader, in an accurate, interesting and enjoyable format. 

Thanks to the libraries and private collectors that have digitised and shared their old books with the world, this article would have been much shorter and far less informative without their contributions.”       Simon Free, 2020.
