Pressed glass is formed with a plunger in a mold on one or more pieces.
Pressed glass items are comparatively thick-walled, have smooth molded
lips, usually with mold seams, and often are distinguished by a short,
straight shear mark, like an isolated mold line, on the inside base.
This mark is from the severing of the “gob” of glass before it is
dropped into the mold. Bottles that are made on either automatic or
semi-automatic machines will have mold lines encircling the top of the
lip, as well as on the sides and base.
