The Hazel Atlas Glass company was formed in 1902 out of a merger between the Atlas Company (circa 1880's) and the Hazel Company. This union started a long history which would later produce the largest glass company in the world.
Unlike many of the dozens of Glass manufacturers of the era, Hazel Atlas excelled in that not only did they produce functional and utilitarian glass, but they were the fore-runner of the household glass production which was an indispensable industry during the formative years of the Great Depression.
While many glass houses closed or changed production away from everyday utilitarian glass, Hazel Atlas continued to make great strides in manufacturing the Glass our mother's and grandmothers would use everyday in cooking, baking serving and storing food.
At first, after this 1902 merger, Hazel Atlas continued their production of fruit jars and commercial food storage containers, as they had for many years prior. Fierce competition
in the fruit jar industry and a desire to expand business, led the company to seek out other lines of production. This expansion had it's beginnings in the early 1920's when Hazel Atlas would first produce, something that up until that time had primarily been relegated to the pottery and porcelain industry, A dinner ware line for the average homemaker. Not a line of elegance or superiority, not a line of notable decoration and style, to appeal to the wealthy, but rather a simple and plain line that the common housewife could purchase inexpensively and use everyday. This concept began in 1923 when Hazel Atlas designed and began production of what we know today as the Ovide pattern.
That year Hazel Atlas would be the first glass house in America to produce for widespread use, a colored transparent dinnerware, which today we refer to as Depression Glass. The Ovide pattern, which was produced only in green, would become the testing ground for the large majority of the Hazel Atlas dinnerware lines over the next 30+ years.
Enjoying mild success from this first venture into dinnerware, other companies took note and began producing their own lines of dinnerware as well, only expanding the idea and adding in intricate patterns. This of course, sparked a revolution in the American glass industry which would last for practically 20 years and inspire Hazel Atlas to produce more decorative and appealing dinnerware lines such as: Cloverleaf, Florentine I, Florentine II, Royal Lace, New Century, Moderntone and Newport.
