 History

Pressed glass helped transform the well-dressed table during the nineteenth century. Made by pressing hot glass into a mould, the technique allowed decorative forms and patterns to be reproduced more efficiently than individually hand-cut designs. Developed in the United States in the early nineteenth century, the process had spread to Britain and Europe by the 1830s, bringing ornamental glassware within reach of a wider public.

This bowl belongs to that broader decorative tradition. This historical background describes pressed glass generally; it does not establish the maker, origin or production date of this particular piece.
