- 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.

- "St. Louis: Gateway to the West" Snow Globe, circa 1970 - Tourist attractions offered souvenir seekers something new beginning in the 1950s: inexpensive plastic snow globes. These evolved from fancier versions through innovations in plastics and manufacturing technology, and they quickly became connected with travel. Snow globes were fun to collect, easy to transport, and served as both proof of the journey and a lasting representation of vacation memories.
