Pressed glass is a method of creating glass objects by pressing molten glass into a mold using a machine or press. The process involves heating the glass to its melting point, and then placing it into a steel or iron mold that has been coated with a release agent such as graphite. The mold will have the desired shape of the glass object to be produced.
The molten glass is then pressed down onto the mold using a plunger. This action forces the glass to take the shape of the mold, creating a detailed and precise copy of the mold's surface pattern. The amount of pressure applied to the plunger determines the thickness and clarity of the glass.
After the glass has been successfully press-molded into the desired shape, it is cooled down slowly in a cooling oven to prevent thermal shock from causing it to crack or break. The cooled glass is then removed from the mold and finished by adding any necessary decorative touches, such as sandblasting, acid etching, or polishing.
The pressed glass process is a cost-effective and efficient way of mass-producing glass objects, such as decorative items, tableware, and light fixtures. The resulting glass objects have consistent dimensions and thickness, making them ideal for large-scale production.
Despite its efficiency, the pressed glass process can sometimes produce less detailed results than other glassmaking techniques, such as blown glass or handcrafted glass. However, modern technology has allowed for the production of complex and intricate designs using the pressed glass method, giving it a strong foothold in the glass industry.
