Artist Biography: Arthur Douglas Nash was the son of Arthur J. Nash, an Englishman who worked in Stourbridge before emigrating in 1892 to the USA, where he ran Louis Comfort Tiffany’s glass studios until 1919. From 1919 A.D. Nash ran the Tiffany Furnaces until their closure in 1928, when he formed his own firm, the A. Douglas Nash Corporation, but this too closed in 1931. He was then hired by Libbey Glass Co. to create a new line of luxury glassware. Nash left Libbey in 1935 and made no further designs for glass.
