Edwardian Silver Perfume Bottles with Crystal and Glass

• Pressed Glass - Pressed glass is a type of glassware that is produced by pressing molten glass into a mould. This manufacturing process involves using a mould to shape and form the glass while it is still in a semi-liquid or molten state. The glass is pressed into the mould to take on its design and texture.
  
  The use of moulds allows for the mass production of glass items with consistent designs. Pressed glass became popular in the 19th century as a more economical alternative to hand-blown glass, as it allowed for faster and more efficient production. This method was widely used for creating various glass objects, including dishes, bowls, vases, and decorative items.
  
  Pressed glass can have intricate patterns and designs, and it has been used for both utilitarian and decorative purposes. While it may not have the same artisanal quality as hand-blown glass, pressed glass has its own charm and has been a significant part of glassware history.
