More Details

Gerald Stevens, a native of Montreal, was a collector of early Canadian glass. He wrote several books and monographs on the subject and, along with his friends Dr. Lorne Pierce and Edith Chown Pierce, ignited a renewed interest in early glassware. In 1953, Stevens, Fred and Lawrence Guild (the property owners at the time) and his wife Bea Stevens, discovered the site of the Mallorytown Glassworks, just west of the village of Mallorytown. All that remains of the site is a fused pile of bricks which forms a part of the Mallorytown Glassworks permanent exhibit. Mr. Stevens purchased a large milk bowl, a footed bowl a paperweight and a covered ceramic dish in the Front of Yonge area and re-sold them to a Calgary collector, who, in turn, donated them to the Glenbow Museum, in Calgary.
