Opus Rock, Juice & Water Glass  
A history of Canadian Glass Production

Glass production first started in Canada in the mid-1800s. The two most successful companies were the Dominion Glass Company in Montreal and Consumers Glass in Hamilton. With the introduction of automated machinery in the 1920s, thousands of products such as lamps and bottles were mass-produced by the Dominion Glass Company. 

Canada's largest and longest-running manufacturer of glass tableware.

The Opus rock, juice and water glasses were produced by Dominion Glass in consultation with local industrial designers. Though Dominion Glass eventually phased out production of most of its housewares, their St. Clair division continued to focus on producing glass products. The Dominion Glass Co. (now Consumers Packaging) is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in Canada
