- Flask, 1850-1855 - Glass factories in America began producing inexpensive, mold-formed flasks in the early 1800s. These figured flasks often were decorated with symbols of national pride or political or cultural affiliation. The log cabin on this flask represented the simple and moderate life of many mid-19th-century Americans. This humble dwelling became a recognizable symbol of the common man--a prime purchaser of these flasks.

- Flask, 1846-1850 - Whether depicted as commander-in-chief, the first president of the United States, or a symbol of the republic, George Washington is a common likeness on early American flasks. Washington appears on 72 recorded flask designs--more than any other person. This example depicts Washington as a classical statesman with major general Zachary Taylor, who became the 12th United States president in 1849.

- Mug, 1800-1850 - 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.
