Vitorlite was one of the named brands for industrial plate glass manufactured from 1915-1947. This plate glass was available in a variety of thicknesses and opaque colors. The purpose of this type of glass was used for interior and exterior walls, tiles, and surfaces. The material is scarce because it is no longer manufactured.
I have collected and used Vitrolite in my work since the 1970’s. The rich luscious colors has a strong influence in my art work. I am attracted to this glass because it is a pure material and is precise which suits my designs.
This type of glass is dominant in the Vitrolite Series.
