Description
"The donor Rene Price was a designer for Savage Sloan. The Dominion Glass Company (1919 - 1990) was Canada’s largest and longest-running manufacturer of glass tableware. By the thirties, it phased out most of its household products, although the Wallaceburg plant continued to make some kitchen glass and tableware."
