- Flask, 1825-1840 - Glass factories in America began producing inexpensive, mold-formed flasks in the early 1800s. These figured flasks, often decorated with symbols of national or civic pride, appealed to America's common man. Citizens of Baltimore, Maryland, would have recognized the image of the city's Washington Monument on this locally made flask. And the sloop would have been a familiar sight to those living in this port city.
