Glass door knobs were magnificently crafted pieces that sparkled like diamonds when the sunlight hit them. Glass door knobs were often found in the homes of the affluent, or in palaces where only the best would do for furnishings and hardware.They won’t last in harsh conditions, nor should they be put outside. Glass door knobs put outside can crack or break in excessive hot or cold weather. The other possible reason for the change to door knobs may have to do with the price. Glass door knobs are considered pieces of art, made one at a time, while meal door knobs can be quickly poured in molds to suit the demand for them.

Essentially every antique glass door knob is a piece of art. This is likely why these pieces are so sought after.
