Pressed glass, also known as slumped glass, is a type of decorative glassware made by pressing molten glass into a mold to create intricate patterns and designs. This technique became popular in the mid-19th century, allowing for mass production of decorative items at affordable prices. Black glass, often referred to as "black amethyst" or "jet glass," was particularly fashionable during the Victorian era and into the early 20th century, prized for its dramatic and elegant appearance. The "Diamond Point" pattern is a classic design found on many pressed glass pieces, characterized by its geometric, faceted appearance that catches and reflects light. Such pieces were commonly used for serving candies, fruits, or as decorative display items.
