Thank you, KimShort History of: Charles, John and Elizabeth DegenhartCharles and John Degenhart started their careers in glass working in glass at the Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton Company factory in Findlay, Ohio. Charles, was born in 1882, started his career first and then John, was born in 1884 and started working with glass at the age of around ten in 1894. In 1901, both joined Cambridge Glass in Cambridge, Ohio. John and Elizabeth Degenhart started the glassworks in 1947 called Crystal Art Glass Company in Cambridge, Ohio. Quality paperweights and other glass objects were created and produced. John passed away in 1964 and his wife took over management and production ideas. In 1978, after the death of Mrs. Degenhart, the molds were sold off. The D in a heart trademark was removed, so collectors can easily recognize the true Degenhart piece. Most of their early Works of Art Glass were unsigned. There was also an association with Zack Boyd and his son Bernard, both of whom worked at Crystal Arts. Today in Cambridge, the Boyd family continues to run Crystal Arts. All Degenhart glass is collected. If you would like more information on or about the Degenhart’s please read these two books “American Glass Paperweights and Their Makers” by Jean Melvin (1967 and 1970) and or “Degenhart Glass and Paperweights” by Gene Florence.
