molded glass
Pressed into form
Molded glass is glass shaped by pressing or blowing molten material into a mold rather than forming it by hand.
The technique allows mass production of identical pieces—bottles, jars, decorative objects, lenses.
Molded glass typically shows seam lines where mold sections met, distinguishing it from hand-blown or cut glass.
