Kanawha art glass, produced by the Kanawha Glass Company in Dunbar and later Culloden, West Virginia, from 1955 to 1987, is recognized for its vibrant colors and often whimsical designs, particularly gaining popularity in the 1960s. Founded by former employees of the Dunbar Glass Company, Kanawha initially focused on blown crystal and decorated glass before expanding into colorful decorative wares, most notably crackle glass. Their product line was extensive, featuring a wide array of items from large containers and pitchers to animal figurines like swans, owls, and cats. Kanawha art glass is characterized by its bright, often transparent colors such as amberina, amethyst, blue, green, and ruby, sometimes combined for added visual interest. Notably, the company also produced "bubble glass" and acquired Hamon Handcrafted Glass in 1969, incorporating Hamons distinct crackle glass into their catalog while maintaining separate production. Today, collectors value Kanawha glass for its mid-century modern aesthetic, the quality of its hand-blown craftsmanship, and the nostalgic charm of its designs. Pieces can range in price depending on rarity, condition, and size, with unique colors and forms often commanding higher values in the vintage market.
