Machines for pressing glass were invented in the 1820’s but it was not until the 1860’s that they were improved enough to mass produce matched table services carrying some type of recognizable pattern (motif, theme or design raised in the glass). Sets of glassware all in the same pattern became very popular and they usually included sugar bowl, creamer, butter dish, goblets, tumblers, pitcher, fruit bowl, berry dishes and sometimes relish dishes, salt and pepper shakers, cake stands, bread plates, compotes, celery vases and other household items.
