Now under the name of Reed & Barton, the founding mission of Miller Rogaska Crystal is to offer excellent quality and design at an exceptional value.

John Miller founded Miller Rogaska Crystal in 1984. Prior to this venture, John served as the founding president of Waterford USA for nearly twenty-five years. He is credited as being one of the industry's pioneers in bringing fine European crystal stemware and giftware to America.

His inspiration for establishing the company came after visiting the Rogaska factory in what was, at the time, Yugoslavia. The factory, located in the spa village of Rogaska, Slovenia, had been producing full lead, handmade crystal for over 75 years. John was so impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the product that he came out of his brief retirement to launch a line of crystal, combining his name with that of this world-class crystal manufacturer. A minimum of 24% lead content qualifies glass as full lead crystal. Miller Rogaska Crystal stemware and barware are 24% lead crystal. Lead, which gives crystal its brilliant color and clarity, also makes the glass soft enough so that it is pliable to the cutter's wheel.

In 1996 one of America's oldest and most celebrated silver and giftware companies, Reed & Barton, purchased Miller Rogaska crystal which has enhanced the market strength of the Miller Rogaska Crystal brand.
