Anotations

Scope note:

Pressed glass made in the 1920s by automatic machines in factories in the American mid-west; it is thought to reflect the austerity of postwar life. Some patterns are reminiscent of 19th-century designs while others incorporate the sharp corners and precise lines of Art Deco styles.
