Sadly, there do not seem to be any group or clubs for Durand art glass.Victor Durand was a contemporary of Tiffany, Steuben, and Quezal. Durand began producing art glass in 1924. In 1926 Durand won a medal of
honor at the Sesquicentennial International Exposition in Philadelphia. Durand died from injuries from a car accident in 1931. By 1933 the company was out of business.
We found a link to historical information on the company: http://antiques.about.com/od/artglass/a/Durand-Art-Glass.htm Also a link with great photos of Durand glass for sale http://www.earlyauctionco.com/art-glass-gallery-spring-08/durand.asp
In 1998 Edward J. Meschi wrote the book: Durand The Man and His Glass. Published by The Glass Press Inc. It can still be purchased. We did a search of the author, but no luck, except for finding the book still for sale. The book has great photos of Durand Glass in addition to info on shapes, cuttings and signatures.
