Glassware is a broad term for decorative yet functional glass that was produced from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s. Examples include Early American Pattern Glass, cut glass, Carnival Glass, Depression Glass, elegant glass, and milk glass.
Antique glassware was generally made in one of three ways: free-blown, in which the molten glass was placed on the end of a pipe and blown into a basic shape before being transferred to a pontil rod; blown-molded, in which the molten glass was placed inside a mold and blown until it filled the walls; and pressed, in which the molten glass was pressed into a metal mold.

In the depths of the 1930s Depression, U.S. glassware manufacturers produced utilitarian yet decorative glass to be used as giveaways with purchases of items like cereal or soap.

Glass production almost completely stopped in Europe, with the exception of Scandinavian countries.
Some notable (and collectible) glassware manufacturers include Fenton, Fostoria, Heisey, Imperial, Northwood, and Waterford.
