48th Annual Houston Glass Club Vintage Glass and Antique Show and Sale

The Houston Glass Club is pleased to announce its 48th annual Vintage Glass and Antique Show and Sale. The show begins on Saturday, August 19th from 9 am to 5 pm and continues on Sunday, August 20th, from 10 am to 4 pm. The event will be held at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds, located at 4310 Highway 36, just south of Houston in Rosenberg.

“Glass is more delightful and sightly than any other material at this day known to man,” could be a quote from a modernday glass collector. Actually, it is part of Neri’s introduction to his Art of Glass book written in 1611. Sponsored by the Hous- ton Glass Club, dealers carry a wide variety of depression era glass and elegant glass from companies such as Cambridge, Fostoria, Heisey, Tiffin and Imperial. American made kitchenware, pottery, and dinnerware are also featured.

The Houston Glass Club Show remains one of the toprated and respected shows in the United States with dealers displaying rare and hard to find pieces. These dealers buy all year with this particular show in mind knowing that the patrons have discriminating tastes and expect the best and most unusual glassware to be there.

Explore the forest canopy – indoors! At the museum’s newest handson exhibition, visitors roam from tree to tree as they discover the many habitats that trees provide for animals large and small. Climb through large treehouses, become an animal tracker, get face-to-face with wildlife of all sizes, move your feet on the forest-sound dance floor, and more!

May 26 – September 4
