Westmoreland Specialty Company/Westmoreland Glass began in or around 1892 as "The Specialty Glass Company" in East Liverpool, Ohio. Later it became the Westmoreland Glass Company in Grapeville, Pennsylvania. The company closed in 1985.

Ashburton

Westmoreland Ashburton came in a wide variety of colors.

Beaded Swirl

Westmoreland's Beaded Swirl pattern dates back to the early 1900s. The name adequately describes the pattern. It is one of several "beaded" patterns by Westmoreland.

Beaded Swirl and Ball

Westmoreland began producing Beaded Swirl and Ball in the very early 1900s. This pattern is very similar to Beaded Swirl except for the addition of a series of round balls at the base.

English Hobnail Line #555

Westmoreland began production of the English Hobnail pattern in 1920 and contintued until the company closed in 1985. It was produced in a wide assortment of colors. There were also three distinct syles of bases used.

Lily of the Valley

As far as I have been able to determine, the only piece that Westmoreland made in this pattern is a vase.

Old Quilt

Westmoreland began producing the Old Quilt pattern (aka Checkerboard) in the early 1900s. Pieces can be found in a wide variety of colors. The pattern was discontinued in 1984.

Paneled Grape

Westmoreland is one of several companies that produced a paneled grape pattern. They produced theirs from the 1940s to the mid 1980s. Many of their pieces have been reproduced and it is very difficult to tell the original from the copy. Westmoreland marked most of their pieces but not all and sometimes the mold mark wore out.
