    About Fred Press:
    Fred Press was born in Boston, MA in 1919. He studied and later taught at the Vesper George School of Art and was the
    founder of the sculpture collection Contemporary Arts, Inc. In the 1950s, Press moved to New York City where he became
    chief designer for Rubel and Co. and turned his artistic skills towards glassware and giftware.
    He was one of the most versatile and prolific of America's 20th Century designers. Press produced hundreds of
    sculptures and paintings (which are part of the permanent collection of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts) in addition to
    numerous glassware designs. His product designs won awards from New York's Museum of Modern Art. His unique products
    and glassware remain popular today.
    Fred Press died in 2012.
