The glass manufacturing network from the late 19th and early 20th centuries was quite interconnected, with many artisans leaving firms to start their own, or being influenced by the work of their contemporaries. Lustre Art Company was no different. It was established around 1920 by Conrad Valshing, former vice president of Quezal Art Glass and the son-in-law of Quezal's owner, and Paul Frank, a glass gaffer from Quezal. They brought many designs from Quezal, which can make the two firms' work hard to distinguish. However, Lustre art glass shades were only manufactured between 1920 and 1923, so finding a verified Lustre piece can be rare and is very exciting!
