Bartlett-Collins was founded in 1914 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, by WJ Bartlett and JA Collins. The company initially focused on making hand-blown glass but later transitioned to pressed glass production, which allowed for the mass production of more uniform pieces.
Bartlett-Collins became particularly popular for its colourful and decorative glassware, which included items like drinking glasses, vases, and serving dishes.
Over time, the company underwent several ownership changes and faced increasing competition, which impacted its business. In the 1980s, the Lancaster Colony Corporation acquired its glass plant in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and the brand continued under new management for some time. However, production at the Sapulpa plant eventually stopped, and the facilities were sold off in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
