The Stretch Glass Society's Mission is to Promote and Preserve American Iridescent Stretch Glass. Our mission is to encourage and support interest in one of America’s heritages, iridescent stretch glass, which was produced by nine American glass companies ca. 1916-1932 and by one American glass company ca. 1980-2011. We are dedicated to preserving this beautiful glassware and the history of its manufacture as well as encouraging collectors, museums, auctioneers, and all who share our enthusiasm for stretch glass to exhibit, use and enjoy it. Education is an on-going priority due to stretch glass being relatively unknown antique and collectible glassware. We endeavor to provide collectors of, and others with interest in, stretch glass with a friendly community in which to share discoveries, obtain identification and develop friendships.
