In August of 2001 we found an odd little
item in an antique shop. It was a slag glass planter, marbleized in green and
blue. We later found out, after researching the trademark on its base, that it
was a piece of Akro Agate glassware, made in Clarksburg, WV, and was called a
Lily Planter.
One thing led to another, and we began to
collect this Akro stuff, joined the Akro Agate Collectors Club, attended our
first Convention in 2002, and became real little "Akro piggies"!
Now we have a large collection of
Akro Agate and Westite glassware, that we are sharing with you on this website.
Some of the pieces are very rare indeed, others are easily found with a
little searching.
More items will be placed on this website,
as we add them to our collection.
Meanwhile, have fun collecting Akro Agate
and Westite glassware! Fr. Akro & Kathy
