Bullseye Glass is a glass manufacturer in Brooklyn, Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[1][2] The company is a significant supplier of raw art glass for fused glass makers.[3]
According to Art Glass Magazine, production control at Bullseye's U.S. plant is more consistent than imported products, allowing it to fuse reliably.[4]
History
In 2016, high levels of the toxic heavy metals cadmium, arsenic and chromium were discovered in the vicinity of the company's plant in East Portland.[5] After production with some of the heavy metals was halted by Bullseye and others, their production of several colors of art glass was restricted.[4]
