About
At the close of the civil war, George Duncan, an iron manufacturer, with his sons Harry and James established a glass factory in Pittsburg, Pensylvania, with the object of designing and producing fine glassware for table use. The company operated under thename of George Duncan and sons Co.from 1865 to 1901; and finally the Duncan and Miller Glass Company from 1901 until the factory closed in 1955. John Ernest Miller who later became Duncan's partner, started working in glass factories when he was only 10 yrs old. His career spanned 53 years, during which time he designed the Three Face pattern which brought him worldwide recognition in 1876 when it was awarded the grand prize at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. His wife, Elizabeth was the model for the pattern.
