Vandermark Merritt Glass Studios was founded in 1972 by Jerry Vandermark and Doug Merritt. Doug Merritt was the primary glass blower following a tradition of the highest quality glass blowing. The studio built its reputation with museum quality colonial reproductions, original Art Glass in the Nouveau and Deco traditions, crystal sculpture, contemporary designs and exquisite cameo creations. Artwork from the studio is represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Toledo Museum, Corning Museum, Wheaton Museum of American Glass and many other major museums, as well as in prestigious private collections.


The studio closed in 2016 after artist/glass blower Douglas Merritt decided it was time to move on after a 40-plus-year career. It’s one of those things that gets passed down from generation to generation" glass blower Douglas Merritt said. less
