Short History of: Charles, John and Elizabeth Degenhart
Charles
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.
