Artifact Overview
Glass factories in America began producing inexpensive, mold-formed flasks in the early 1800s. These figured flasks, often decorated with symbols of national pride or political or cultural affiliation, appealed to America's common man. The overflowing cornucopia found on both sides of this flask alludes to America's bounty.
