John Adams (glassmaker)


John Adams, pioneer American glass manufacturer, and the founder of Adams Glass was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania in 1823. He began working in glass manufacture at the age of 14.〔''American Pressed Glass and Figure Bottles'' By Albert Christian Revi. Nelson, 1964. p.15〕
==Life and work==

He developed the technique of using lime in place of lead to make glass. This significantly lowered the cost of glass production. He made good use of this advantage, turning his factory, located in Pittsburgh, into a large and successful operation.〔Knittle, Rhea Mansfield. Early American Glass. Garden City, N.Y.: Garden City Pub. Co, 1948. OCLC 2177302 p.346〕
He was a major producer of kerosene lamps. Along with his sons Adolphus and William, he produced numerous artistic table glassware designs. They also made such unusual items as glass plow-shares, washboards, and coffins.
John Adams also served on the Pittsburgh City Council, was a director of the Iron & Glass Dollar Savings Bank, street railway companies and Flint Glass Association. He was an ardent Methodist, and lifelong Sunday school teacher.
