The colors are chiefly white and a deep olive green— the regular bottle glass — though it is sometimes found in a deep blue. The effect desired in this type of glass blown in the contact mold is directly leading the way to the -pressed glass whose invention was now but a matter of a few years. Pressed glass was made in various parts of the country after the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Its pur- pose was to afford an inex- pensive substi- tute for cut glass, and its use ex- tended in...to practically every household in the country. Much of the best pres- sed- glass was made in New England, parti- cularly of the types which Eastern collec- tions have to- day. In Jersey City and in Pitts- burg the pressed glass industry also flourished — the latter town, however, supply- ingprincipallythe South and West. The best known of these nineteenth century glass works was the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company at Sandwich, Mass. Here was made pressed glass in a large variety of designs and colors and also some finely blown glass — prob- ably not a very large output — sometimes decor- ated with gilding.
