Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company (1901-24)

Queens, New York, U.S.A.

  • Founded in 1901 by Martin Bach and Thomas Johnson, ex-employees of Tiffany Studios
  • The company is renowned for pieces that rivaled Tiffany Studios in technical execution and beauty.
  • The name “Quezal” was chosen by the company as a tribute to the resplendent Quetzal, a bird native to Central and South America
  • Unlike Tiffany Studios, which produced entire lamps in-house, the Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company primarily functioned as a glass manufacturer.
  • Quezal glass is defined by its vibrant, shimmering iridescence and high technical precision incredibly similar to Favrille glass.
