History (

):
"Around the mid-1930's, a glass maker named L. G. Wright noticed a renewed interest in pattern glassware. Wright worked out a way to commission several factories to produce reproductions of some of the popular patterns from the late 1800’s.
L.G. Wright was known as primarily producing glass patterns that other companies had already manufactured (such as Adams Glass Co's “Palace” pattern which was renewed and renamed “Moon & Star”. The L.G. Wright Company first produced the “Moon & Star” pattern in the mid to late 1930's.
The L.G. Wright glass company never actually pressed any of their own glass items. Companies like L.E. Smith, Imperial, Fenton and more did the actual manufacturing work while L.G. Wright was noted as the maker. L. E. Smith Glass Company produced the "Moon & Star" pattern for the Wright Company in the 1940's.
