- Flask, 1859-1865 - Glass factories in America began producing inexpensive, mold-formed flasks in the early 1800s. Many figured flasks were decorated with symbols of national pride and images of famous individuals -- or in this case a famous racehorse. Flora Temple won 95 harness races during the 1850s and 1860s. Not only was this "bob-tailed" mare immortalized in glass, but also in the song "Camptown races."

- Footed Bowl, circa 1850 - American glass factories made a variety of glass products for the early-nineteenth-century consumer. Glassblowers turned out bottles, flasks, tableware and other household items. Earlier products were affordable only to the well-to-do. But by the second quarter of the 19th century, a growing number of manufacturers made reasonably priced blown-glass items available to the expanding middle class.
