The Rainbow Art Company was first founded by President J.
Goudaker and Vice President Henry P. Manus. Hand decorated
Rainbow items were sold in all 50 states as well as in Canada,
Mexico, South and Central America, British India, and South
America.
Rainbow Glass was located in Huntington, West Virginia. From
1942 - 1954 they only decorated glass. They bought from other
Glass Companies and decorated with painting and staining among
other techniques. From 1954 - 1973 they made their own glass. In
1973 the company was sold to Viking glass. The factory burned in
1983. Many Rainbow items can be found with Viking stickers
showing that the Rainbow items were popular enough to continue
making for many years.
