Stained Glass Association of America


The Stained Glass Association of America is a trade association formed in 1903 to protect the United States ornamental and stained-glass industry from foreign competition by cheaper European glass imports into the United States. The organisation campaigned for decades for high import taxes to be imposed on European glass which was much cheaper than U.S. glass due to the much lower wage costs in Europe, which they described as "unfair competition".
The Association published a journal, The Stained Glass Quarterly.
