Brinn's China and Glassware Co was founded in 1934 (date of first use), by Samuel I. Brinn. It was incorporated 10 years later, on Thursday 20th April 1944 in Pittsburgh, PA. Samuel, originally from DuBois, PA, had lost his scrap iron business and moved to Pittsburgh to start over as a wholesaler of china and glass. He became an importer of ceramic decor like planters, vases, figurines, and tableware but was most famous for their lady head vases. By 1956, they had grown extensively and moved Brinn’s China to a larger building, (that later became part of the Pittsburgh Historic District), they remained in that building until 1965. In 1966 they expanded their inventory and updated their trademark to include ceramic housewares, tableware, pottery, pots, planters, etc. By 1959, the company was distributing ceramic and brass imports from Japan and England. In 1975, Charles Brinn was President, he personally traveled to China to attend The Canton Fair which increased their imports from Taiwan/China. They remained a family owned company, we believe they were out of business by the late 1980's.
