Mosser Glass is probably one of the most unique places that we have visited thus far. The colors were the most unique of any glass place, such as cobalt blue, rose, jade, and other unique colors. All of the glass made at Mosser is pressed glass. Upon our visit they were making two glass pieces, a vase and a headlight for a old model Ford. Mosser glass supplies many items to local business throughout the United States. Why would business prefer to purchase glass from Mosser and not from China, which is cheaper? I asked this question and the answer is not surprising, but what do you think the answer would be.
 |
| 1. Heat the raw materials in a kiln |
 |
| 2. Shaping the molten glass with a die and press |
 |
| Die up close |
 |
| 3. Annealing process to harden the glass |
Definitely good questions to ask about US production versus Chinese.
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures! Did you know all of the cake and bread stands at Panera Bread are Mosser? I agree with the unique color range at this facility!
ReplyDeleteI also liked your observations at Mosser about the teamwork that is so evident there. That would make a good lesson for your students.
ReplyDeleteThis would also work for my students.
