Abstract:

This article takes a look at early blown glass bottles shaped to imitate either famous individuals or recognizable objects. These artifacts represent early American culture from log cabins to presidents immortalized in glass. The author mentions the rarity of such pieces even at the time of publishing. He also delivers a brief historical sketch of these pieces and their cultural significance, often used to toast a particular individual.
