It was the brain-child of John W. Fenton (the brother of Frank L. Fenton with whom he had worked the Fenton Art Glass Company). John Fenton's crusade to produce fabulous glassware began in the Millersburg Glass Plant dominated the rolling landscape of Ohio. Yet, it ended just four years later. Millersburg Glass Company was extremely short-lived and it still has an air of mystery about it. The company filed for bankruptcy in 1911 and closed the following year. According to one source, the high quality of their glass, the short period of production and the difficulties of the latter years have all combined to make much of Millersburg’s Glass somewhat scarce and much sought-after.
