<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2510405, member: 13874"]Molded = formed. Not <i>blown</i>. All so called <i>cut glass/crystal</i> starts out as molded, made in a mold/form. On the finer pieces the edges are hand cut, polished to fine sharp edges to finish. Some pieces are cut by hand but they still start out from a form/mold. Pressed glass is a term for molded glass that is not crystal [no lead in it] and not cut after the molding; it was massproduced and still is. <i>Depression Glass</i> was a name applied to one type of <i>pressed glass</i>. All pressed glass is not Depression Glass however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
