About the Item
A pair of clear glass rearing horse bookends by L.E. Smith, circa 1940. Glass is cast with bold curved silhouettes and details to the ears, eyes, hooves and flowing tails. Finished underneath with a soft-pink felt.
L.E. Smith Glass Company was founded by "Lew" Smith in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, in 1907. The company is best known for glassware it produced from 1910 to 1921 at its factory in nearby Mount Pleasant. There, L.E. Smith manufactured mustard jars (along with the mustard that filled them), fruit jars, jelly jars, and headlights for Henry Ford's Model T, among many other products. By 1920, Smith had purchased a new factory in Greensburg where it made a range of milk glass pieces, from figural animals to vases and planters. L.E. Smith also produced small novelty glass items, from tiny pianos and pistols to diminutive telephones, which were often sold as containers for candy. Other mainstays of the Smith catalog at that time were lamps, with pressed-glass shades and bodies manufactured in a range of colors. In the 1960s, Smith re-issued a number of its own pre-war lamps, and by 1971 it had finally jumped on the carnival-glass bandwagon that began in 1907. In 1979, Smith licensed the use of one of its molds to a company called Cherished Glass Wares. Produced by Smith for CGW, the mold created the shape of a horse/vase, which had originally been sold under the product name "Carol's Sure Win”.
