History
The company was founded by Eric Lovell in 1973.[2] In the late sixties, Lovell had rediscovered the glass-making technique of ring mottle glass, which was invented by Tiffany Studios and lost when it closed in 1928.[3]
In 2017, the company's assets were sold to Oceanside Glass & Tile, based out of Carlsbad, California,[4] The Portland facility stopped making sheets of glass by February 2017.[5] following discovery of cadmium pollution near its site.[1] Oceanside moved production to Tijuana, Mexico, and ended the Uroboros name.[4]
