By this time, pressed tablewares were being produced in large matching sets and innumerable forms. During the mid-1850s, colorless glass and simple geometric patterns dominated. Catering to the demand for moderately-priced dining wares, the glass industry in the United States expanded widely, and numerous factories supplied less expensive pressed glassware to the growing market.

Maker: Brooklyn Flint Glass Company (American, Brooklyn, New York, 1824-1868). Date: ca. 1855.This decanter is from the same larger luxury glass table service as a compote and three drinking vessels in the collection (69.257, 2015.459.2-.4). The decanter bears an engraved gothic-style "H" in a carved shield on one of the alternating clear vertical panels. The service descended in the family of Johns Hopkins (1795-1873), prominent businessman, entrepreneur, abolitionist, and philanthropist of Baltimore, Maryland. Hopkins may have purchased the service for use in his country estate, Clifton, outside of Baltimore, which he extensively renovated into an Italianate mansion in 1858. It is known that he enjoyed entertaining there, welcoming family, friends and dignitaries, including the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).

Huta szkła, glass worksVase 1893-96 Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany American This object forms part of a group of over forty given to the Museum in 1896 by Louisine and Henry Osborne Havemeyer (96.17.9-.56). The gift was the first American glass to enter the Museum's collection. Most likely prompted by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Havemeyers presented their collection of Tiffany Favrile glass to the Museum only three years after Tiffany started making decorative blown-glass vessels. The shapes, colors, and finishes of Tiffany's vases and plaques were inspired by the natural world and ancient glass. Tiffany's vases in the shapes of flowers are among his most fanciful creations. Some of the earliest were tall attenuated vases reminiscent of buds, like this example. They vary in their coloration from a pale green and white to darker, more opaque greens and reds..

This trencher salt and its mate are among the earliest American examples known. They are exceptional not only for their exquisite design and workmanship but also because they have survived as a pair. Their form is a simple and beautifully proportioned composition, which balances the concave hemisphere of the well with the convex curve of the sides. Embracing the front of each salt is a cartouche containing the de Peyster family coat of arms and crest and engraved with characteristically luxuriant, New York early-Baroque acanthus foliage. The maker, Bartholomew Le Roux I, left Holland (where he probably trained) for London in 1685 and not long thereafter moved to New York. He was the first of three generations of New York silversmiths.(See 1997.488.5, .6 Candlestick, one of as set of four, 1722-1723, Joseph W. Bellassyse, ent. 1716, 5 7/8 in.
