Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1939, Culver Industries is the premier purveyor of decorated glassware for retail establishments. The original vintage 22 karat gold patterns of Culver are extensive - from gilded mushrooms, owls, cats, Egyptian and Asian inspired design themes, scrolling leaf patterns, holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. These vintage Culver designs are highly collectible and remain popular today. In the 1980's and 90's, the Culver brand continued to flourish, and during that period Culver was the largest importer of ice buckets and bar accessories in the United States. In 1996 Culver Industries was purchased by Moderne Glass Company, Inc., also a long- standing drinkware decorator with an extensive retail background. Moderne Glass was founded in 1968. The current owner Tom McKnight, President/CEO, purchased Moderne Glass in 1978. Moderne Glass is currently one of the largest decorators of drinkware in the $21 billion promotional products industry. They have had the honor of being voted the best drinkware decorator in the industry for the past 15 consecutive years. Through state-of-the-art equipment and many cutting-edge decorating processes, Culver's most recent endeavor has been the resurrection of the deep-rooted, vintage Culver designs with a contemporary twist.
