In the 19th century objects were produced by blowing molten glass into a mold, thereby causing the glass to assume the shape and pattern design of the mold.
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. A dearth of skilled glassblowers may have also led to the increased use of molds. Blown molded glass was popular for about twenty years before it was superseded by pressed glass.
