A piece of Zimmerman Glass Company History. Joe Zimmerman, a glass artisan, owned and operated the Zimmerman Art Glass Company for over twenty years. He produced hand crafted glass items which people across the country have added to their prized collections. Each item was made by Joe with painstaking care and no two pieces were exactly alike. Zimmerman's love of his craft was handed down from his grandfather, Frederick Zimmerman, who had been an expert glass presser at the U.S. Glass Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In May of 1963, Joe and a business partner opened Zimmerman Art Glass Company. Joe continued developing his talent and created a wide variety of art glass objects. His beautiful paper weights were among the most popular items. Joe Zimmerman was shot to death in his glass factory on July 29, 1986. Sons Bart and Kerry Zimmerman have continued operating the Zimmerman Art Glass Company as their father would have wished.
