- Pressed Glass Dish,1825-1835 - Mechanically pressed glass was an innovation in glass history, making decorative, "patterned" glass available to a broad audience. One of the earliest types of pressed glass, dating to the 1830s is known as "Lacy Glass". Complex stippled patterns were developed to help hide technical defects caused by early presses, when the glass gather was cut off and dropped into a mold.

- Salt, 1827-1840 - Small, open dishes filled with salt graced Americans' dining tables well into the 20th century -- before the introduction of free-flowing salt and the acceptance of shakers. Around 1830, glass factories began creating inexpensive pressed glass salts that imitated more expensive cut glass. The array of small raised dots that created a lace-like pattern scattered light and covered flaws found in early pressed glass production.

- Pressed Glass on Display in Henry Ford Museum Promenade, March 1939 - This photograph documents the Museum's glass display on March 15, 1939. The collection was arranged in recessed cases lining the Promenade, the long marble corridor at the front of the Museum. Curators limited the display to examples representing Early American blown and pressed glass as well as English and Irish glass, then thought the most important for study and exhibit.

- Casket, 1830-1840 - This mold-made, pressed glass box was intended to hold a middle class lady's jewelry. It was made in the lacy glass technique, in which decoration covers the entire surface of the mold, and is raised against a background of small dots, to create a stippled appearance on the surface. The dots catch any ambient light, making the surface shimmer.
