- 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.
