- Sugar and Creamer Set, 1930-1934 - During the 1930s, some American glass manufacturers produced inexpensive, pressed glass serving ware. The glassware, which came in a variety of colors and scores of distinct patterns, could be bought at many lower-end retailers as well as through catalogue merchants. Movie theaters and other businesses also gave it away -- intending to lure the cash-strapped Depression-era public inside.

- "Solid Vase Form #15" by Sidney R. Hutter, 1994 - Sidney Hutter creates nonfunctional vessels through cold working (grinding and polishing) slabs of industrial plate glass. The slabs are held together by an adhesive cured by ultraviolet light. Hutter adds color to the adhesive between each layer of glass to create his prismatic artwork. Not everything he creates is fine art, however. Hutter also has a commercial line of home décor.
