The Historical Glass Club of Pittsburgh

The Historical Glass Club of Pittsburgh (HGCP) promotes the history, study, and appreciation of American glass, with emphasis on glass manufactured in the Pittsburgh region, as well as its relationship to the useful and decorative arts.

We offer a wealth of resources for both the budding collector and the experienced researcher. Our members are always willing to share their expertise, and programs at our monthly meetings provide a wide variety of learning experiences.
