Early American molded glass : ウィキペディア英語版 | Early American molded glass Early American molded glass refers to functional and decorative objects, such as bottles and dishware, that were manufactured in the United States in the 19th century. The objects were produced by blowing molten glass into a mold, thereby causing the glass to assume the shape and pattern design of the mold. Common blown molded tableware items bearing designs include salt dishes, sugar bowls, creamers, celery stands, decanters, and drinking glasses.〔Wilson, Kenneth M. ''New England Glass and Glassmaking''. Corning, NY:Corning Museum of Glass, 1972., p. 273〕 Household items, other than dishware, made using the three-mold method include inkwells, oil lamps, birdcage fountains, hats, medicine and perfume bottles, and witch balls.〔Papert, Emma. ''The Illustrated Guide to American Glass''. New York:Hawthorn Books, 1972 p. 102〕 Whiskey flasks bearing unique designs were made in two part molds. Undecorated bottles used as containers for a variety of liquids were blown into square molds to give them corners so they could be packed into compartments of wooden cases.〔Watkins, Lura Woodside. ''American Glass and Glassmaking''. New York:Chanticleer Press, 1950.,p. 27〕 ==History== After the War of 1812, American glass manufacturers began using molds as an inexpensive way to produce glassware similar in appearance to the very costly cut glass that was imported from Waterford, Ireland.〔Papert, 1972, p. 83〕 A dearth of skilled glassblowers may have also led to the increased use of molds.〔McKearin, George S. and Helen McKearin ''American Glass''. New York:Crown Publishing, 1948., p.18〕 Blown molded glass was popular for about twenty years before it was superseded by pressed glass.〔
