Viking Glass was orginially New Martinsville Manufacturing, incorporated in 1900 - and through a chain of events became Viking Glass in 1944 and Danzell-Viking in 1987. Viking closed their doors in 1998 as one of the few remaining glass factories in West Virginia.
Viking was well known for their vibrant colors, choosing to mold glass into seemingly stretched unusual shapes. One of their most popular lines was their 1960's Epic line - well named for the vast variety of shapes - including their trademark slender-tailed bird.
Pictured above are several pieces of Viking Glass in the Epic line - a thistle petal foot candy dish , a turquoise vase and an amber slender-tailed bird. To learn more, check out www.vikingartglass.com.
