🥃 Forgotten glassware icon from Lancaster returns with vintage flair. Gay Fad Studios, a revolutionary mid-century modern glassware company founded by Fran Taylor in 1939, has been revived by couple Dave and Jason Annecy. The original company pioneered innovative glass-decorating techniques and employed 25 female designers before closing in 1962 after a copyright dispute. The Annecys discovered Fran Taylor's lost 1963 designs and now reproduce them using the exact same techniques and materials in their Lancaster shop. Their annual "Bottoms Up" event celebrates mid-century barware while preserving an important piece of American design history.
