Victor Durand, Jr. was born in Baccarat, France. As several generations before him, Victor, at the age of 12, went to work in a local glassworks. Victor's grandfather and father worked for Cristalleries de Baccarat, a famous glassworks that was established in 1764. In 1882, Victor Durand, Sr. immigrated to the U.S. Victor, Sr. worked for Wheaton Glass Works and Whitall-Tatum and Company.
In 1884, Victor, Jr. (then 14 yrs. old) and the rest of his family joined his father in the U.S. Victor, Jr.'s first U.S. glass job was for Whitall-Tatum. Then he worked for Wheaton Glass Works. The next decade he worked for several glass factories in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Canada. During this time, Victor was expanding his glass knowledge.
In 1897, Victor, Jr., with the help of his father, leased a small glassworks then known as Vineland Glass Manufacturing Co., founded in 1892. The company originally made bottles and jars. Victor built a new furnace and started producing glass tubing, rods, and clinical thermometer tubes. The new company started out with only 25 employees. In 1899, Victor, Jr. bought out his father's shares to become sole owner. His father was semi-retired, however his brothers (Henry, Paul, and Charles) worked for the company, although not in executive positions. The plant built of wooden construction and was destroyed by fire in 1904. Later it was rebuilt of iron and brick.
In 1909, New Jersey Clay Pot Company was founded and Victor Durand, Jr. was President and majority stockholder. He also solely owned Vineland Flint Glass Works. By 1920, Victor added a new title, President and majority stockholder of the Newfield Glass Company.
Victor, Jr. still had one burning desire despite his financial success and that was to make art glass. So in 1924, he convinced Martin Bach, Jr. to establish an art glass shop. Martin, Jr. had grown up in his father's business, the Quezal Art Glass Decorating Company in Brooklyn, New York. Quezal was started by Martin Bach, Sr. and Thomas Johnson. Martin Bach, Sr. had previously worked for Tiffany Furnaces as a batch mixer, thus he knew all of Tiffany's formulas. In 1924, Martin Bach, Sr. died. The Quezal Company, already in financial difficulty, closed. Martin Bach, Jr. agreed to go to work for Victor Durand. Thus Durand's "Fancy Shop" was born. Shop, Durand Art Glass was awarded the Medal of Honor at the Sesquicentennial International Exposition in Philadelphia.
The Fancy Shop was not always profitable and was supported by Vineland Flint Glass Works. However, in 1931, Victor Durand, Jr. died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Pink and Green Mizimah (Filet-de-verre Art Glass Vase)
Located in Missouri, MO
When I hear music, it translates into color. —Toots Zynsky
Toots Zynsky’s distinctive heat-formed filet de verre (glass thread) vessels enjoy a widespread popularity and deserved acclaim for their often extraordinary and always unique explorations in color. Defying categorization, her pieces inhabit a region all their own, interweaving the traditions of painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts.
Mary Ann Toots Zynsky was born in 1951 and raised in Massachusetts. Known professionally and to her friends as Toots Zynsky, she received her bachelor of fine arts in 1973 at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence. There, she was one of a group of pioneering artists studying with Dale Chihuly, who made studio glass a worldwide phenomenon.
“Glassmaking was wide open,” Zynsky remembers. “Hot glass slipped through the air, pulled and stretched. There was music and the furnaces were roaring. . . and everyone was working in concert. . . It was this material that hadn’t been widely explored as an artist’s medium. Everything was possible, and there was so much to be discovered. There were no rules. You could do anything you wanted.”
In Chihuly’s words, her class was a group with extraordinary energy, amounting to “the most creative, highly charged institutional experience I’d ever been a part of.” Among Zynsky’s classmates at RISD were other artists who went on to build successful careers, such as James Carpenter, Bruce Chao, Dan Dailey, and Therman Statom...
