Harriton Carved Glass
June 24, 2007
I’m working on a web site on Harriton Carved Glass, a company started in the 20’s in NYC by David Harriton. Harriton is the father-in-law/grandfather of friends. The web site will be up soon. Come back and see a link.

Grandpa Dave was like a grandfather to me. My Mother was his Gerta’s (his Daughter in law) friend for over 60yrs. I spent a lot of time on the mountain and many happy times with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Nellie Mae and the whole wonderful family. I’m thrilled that you’re doing a website about him and his work. I have two glass (mirrrored) panels from a Pennsylvania RR dining car that were made by Harriton Carved Glass. If you’d like photos, or scans of the info that I have (which my Mother got before her death) I’d be happy to provide them.
Tell Lynne, Laurie, and the gang that I sent my love.
Bill Green,

Go, Jamie. How do I find said website again? Billy did not mention that Sadelle, his mother & my mother Gerta’s close friend for over 60 years, passed away last month.
Our love and condolences forever to Billy, Annette & family.
Thanks for the ‘comment’ Billly. You’re #1! Please send dig-photos & other info to Jamie, who, I could point out, is an angel for doing this.
Erik, if you read this - the Nashville panels?
Love to all, Lynnie

I have two reverse on glass painted panels from Harriton Carved Glass. The quality is unsurpassed. Hands down it is the best eglomise work I have ever seen come out of this country. Feel free to email me for pics.
regards,
Jonathan O’Hea

I’m looking forward to seeing your website. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I love the glass mural signed by A. Harriton at 300 Sixth Ave downtown.
Here’s what I could found about the piece on the Carnegie Library’s website:

Note: They’ve reversed the slide on their website!
“27 foot high mural carved of colored glass, showing a steel puddler with molten metal pouring from a vast ladle amid a shower of fiery sparks. Located on Wood Street, between Sixth and Oliver, at site of former Spear & Company.
Work of the Harriton Carved Glass Co., N.Y., 1939″
