HISTORY/MARKS: The New Martinsville Glass Company was an American manufacturer of decorative glass products in New Martinsville, West Virginia. New Martinsville Glass Co. was founded in 1900 by Mr. Mark Douglas and George Matheny. Plant construction was started in 1900 with the first glass production on June 21, 1901. In March 1907, the New Martinsville plant was destroyed by flood and fire. By October 1907, the plant was rebuilt and was back in operation. In mid 1944, the firm changed its name to Viking Glass Company which operated until 1986. In 1987, Kenneth Dalzell, a former president of Fostoria Glass Company, purchased the factory and renamed it Dalzell-Viking. Production ceased in 1998. Most New Martinsville Glass is not marked. The Silver Overlay is from Silver City of Meriden, Connecticut which operated from 1907-1984. The pattern is called Flanders Poppies to commemorate the fallen soldiers and was probably made after WW1.
