<p>The Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company was formed in Fostoria, Ohio in 1893 from the merger of the Fostoria Shade and Lamp Company with Wallace and McAffee Company. They moved to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania when their glassworks burned down in 1895. In the 1890&#8242;s they produced some art glass vases and bowls, but for many years their main production was high quality lamps, globes and shades. Beginning in 1925 its chief art glass designer was Reuben Haley, who designed a number of famous lines of art glass, including &#8220;Martele&#8221; (&#8220;hand wrought&#8221;) in 1926, inspired by the work of Rene Lalique (it featured floral and bird designs and nude motifs), the &#8220;Catalonian&#8221; line in 1927, a reproduction of old glass from the Spanish province of Catalonia, and, in 1928, the Ruba Rombic line of Art Deco inspired wares.  They also produced a line of acid etched designs called Florentine glass.</p>
<p>The Consolidated Glass works was shuttered from 1932 to 1936 by the Great Depression. Many of their molds, technically owned by the heirs of Reuben Haley (who died in 1933) were transfered to the Phoenix Glass Co. so production, particularly of the Martele line, could continiue.  These molds were reclaimed in 1936 when Consolidation production resumed. In the 1940&#8242;s and 1950&#8242;s they continued to produce art glass; however, much of it was their milk glass line called &#8220;Con Cora.&#8221; The factory was destroyed by a fire in 1963.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ruba Rombic Glass &#038; Muncie Pottery</h2>
<p>In 1927 Reuben Haley designed an Art Deco line of glassware called Ruba Rombic for the Consolidated Glass Company of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. This art glass line was introduced to the trade in January 1928 at the annual industry show at the Fort Pitt Hotel in Pittsburgh.  Consolidated produced all the Ruba Rombic wares except for a very rare fish bowl produced by the Phoenix Glass Co.</p>
<p>All Ruba Rombic is rare. It was introduced in January 1928 and the Great Depression soon  followed, adding economic distress to the limited appeal of a moderne design a bit ahead of its time. Approximately 35 Rombic forms or shapes were produced in a variety of different colors.  In addition a half dozen or so lighting pieces were produced.  Perhaps 2,000 to 3,000 pieces in total have survived.</p>
<p>Reuben Haley also designed a line of art pottery that mimiced the Ruba Rombic art glass produced by Consolidated Glass. It was introduced in 1929 by the Muncie Clay Products Co. of Muncie, Indiana.</p>
