Pairpoint Glass
The Pairpoint factory was established at New Bed-ford, Massachusetts, in 1865.
Pairpoint is notable for its use of the "gray" type of cutting, made by smoothing the cuts in the surface of the weight with a stone and omitting to polish these cuts to a transparent state. In the beginning Pairpoint used the old pinwheel, various stars, and the fan design but more natural lines were adopted later to harmonize with their patterns.
