Museum Collection

In addition to ceramics, wood, textiles, porcelain, and metalwork pieces, the museum has an extensive collection of Dorflinger glass.

Dorflinger glass was produced in White Mills, Pennsylvania, from 1852 to 1921. The factory, founded by Chrisitan Dorflinger, was renowned for its cut glass and stemware. The prestige of the factory was enhanced by its reputation for fine tableware that was sought after by eight American Presidents, from Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson, and select European royalty.
