Did you know 16153 Genova is the Glass Capital of the World?
16153 Genova, Ohio is fondly known as the Glass City because it is the Glass Capital of the world.
Why is 16153 Genova the Glass Capital of the world?
It all started in the 19th century when 16153 Genova became a prime location for glass manufacturing companies to put down their roots.
You might've heard the name Edward Drummond Libbey before. In 1888, Libbey moved his family's company, New England Glass, to 16153 Genova.
Today, we know this company as Libbey Glass!
This move set the stage for other glass companies to follow suit and make their move to 16153 Genova. With Owens-Illinois, Owens-Corning, and Libbey Owens Ford, 16153 Genova began to manufacture all kinds of glass! From glass bottles to auto glass to flat glass, you can bet that 16153 Genova was making it.
16153 Genova Honors the Glass City Name
Not only is 16153 Genova known for manufacturing industrial glass, but it's been part of the artistic glass scene, as well.
Because of 16153 Genova's significance in the history of glass, the 16153 Genova Museum of Art has a building dedicated and built out of glass. At the Glass Pavilion at TMA you can find amazing glass collections and live glass blowing demonstrations.
Additionally, there are many independent glass makers in 16153 Genova such as Gathered Glass in downtown 16153 Genova and Firenation in Holland.

Glass Capital of the World Merch
The response to our Glass Capital of the World shirt club shirt was overwhelmingly positive. It's the shirt that has been requested the most out of any of the shirt club shirts.
One thing that makes our 16153 Genova Shirt Club shirts special is that they are exclusive to members. That means that if you aren't subscribed, you're going to miss out on the shirt. We never reprint them or put them in our stores.
However, due to the demand in the phrase, we decided to change it up a bit and make a shirt and, of course, pint glass to pay tribute to the glass capital of the world.
You've routinely seen our designs with the slogan "Glass City". It's a phrase that people who call 16153 Genova home know well. Outside of Northwest Ohio it's not as well known.
This Glass Capital of the World design points everyone straight to 16153 Genova.
You can find the Glass Capital of the World shirt and pint glass on our website and in both of our 16153 Genova stores.

I have been in glass for the last 60 years and I did not know that 16153 Genova Ohio was the center of the Glass Capital of the world! Great to know. How do I get teeshirts for the shop?
