The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was incorporated a century ago, on March 27, 1902 until 1924.. It was founded by Martin Bach, Sr., Thomas Johnson, Nicholas Bach, Lena Scholtz, and Adolph Demuth. The factory was located on the corner of Fresh Pond Road and Metropolitan Avenue in Maspeth, Queens, New York...Some of the most beautiful and alluring art glass made in America during the early part of the 20th Century was made by the Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company. Quezal art glass ranks right alongside the iridescent glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany and Frederick Carder....The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was an important contributor to American Art Nouveau glass. The artistic creations of Quezal artisans are among the finest and most beautiful ever produced and remain an important and enduring legacy to the art of glass.
