Made by the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company in Sandwich, Mass., from 1825 to 1888. Founded as Sandwich Manufacturing Company, by Deming Jarves when he left Cambridge Glass. In 1826 it became the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company. Sandwich glass is blown, molded, cut, and engraved. A special mold, the first such equipment made in the United States, was used for its pressed glass. Tableware, lamps, vases, and scent bottles were some items made of sandwich glass. The glass is comparable to Baccarat pressed glass.
