Description: | This mug commemorates the opening of the High Level Bridge over the River Tyne in 1850. It is thought to be one of Sowerby's earliest pressed glass products. Early manufactures by Sowerby's were normally made in clear uncoloured glass, rather than the bright colours Sowerby's became well-known for later. Machine-molded glass was developed in America between 1820-1830 and was established in England in the early 1830s. Pressed glass is thought to have first been made at Sowerby's in 1946. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | invention and innovation events art made in the North East Newcastle date period living in the North East transport designers glass makers Gateshead | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
