The piece that we are selling was purchased by my aunt directly from the Summit Art Glass Company at the time of their closing.

Russell and JoAnn Vogelsong started in the Glass business selling and having glass items made for them in their molds. In 1984 they decided to open their own glass factory in Ravenna, Ohio and the rest is history. The Summit Art Glass Company was the result. Some of the Summit items are marked with the V in Circle and others are unmarked or marked with the old marks that were in the molds when purchased. Some items may be found with their paper label. However due to the passing of Russell in the Fall of 2005 and the high price of gas, the factory closed. JoAnn and her son decided to dispose of the operation in 2006 and their molds went in several directions. Some to the Cambridge Collectors, some to other individuals like Ed Bowman and several to Helen & Phil Ross Wholesale Glass.
