Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG), also known as pressed glass, was mostly produced from 1850 to 1910, made in a cast-iron mold to be economical and durable for everyday use (cheaper than blown glass). The highly diverse patterns ranged from plain to very elaborate, and were often patented by the manufacturers.
Most patterns started with a goblet, and some would have table sets (spooner, covered butter, covered sugar, and creamer at a minimum) and possibly additional pieces such as a celery vase. The English made pattern glass too, but more individual pieces instead of sets...
Some of the better known (and collectible) American pattern glass producers included Northwood, The U.S. Glass Company, Heisey, Fostoria, Bryce Brothers, Higbee, Ripley, Duncan, McKee, and Gillinder and Sons of Philadelphia.
