Kew Blas Art Glass Vase
Art glass
Massachusetts
Flared and crimped rim on tapering cylindrical

1/2 in.
Note: The Union Glass Company was
established in Somerville, Massachusetts, in
1851 and subsequently closed in 1924. Along
with the production of pressed and silvered
glass, Union Glass was responsible for Kew
Blas glassware.
The Kew Blas brand was created for a line
of iridescent glass produced from 1890 to
1924. The name is a scrambled spelling
of the name of the factory manager at the
time, W.S. Blake. Kew Blas production
implemented iridescent and pulled patterns
made popular at the time by other prominent
brands such as Quezal and Tiffany. In fact,
Thomas Johnson, an English immigrant who
was previously employed by Tiffany and
was a founding member of the Quezal team
eventually left to join Union Glass in 1907, in
order to become involved in the production of
Kew Blas glassware.
