Novelty-shaped, pressed glass salts, like this bird with seed, appeared in the late 1800s.

- Standing Salt, 1860-1900 - Nineteenth-century American glassmakers experimented with new methods to create products for a growing consumer market.

America's middle-class consumers could now decorate their homes with attractive glass bowls, creamers, dishes, plates, vases, and other tableware.
