Pressed Glass Bowl

Pressed Glass Bowl This pressed glass bowl was found during Phase I investigations in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, in 1988.  It is 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) high and has a maximum diameter of 10 centimeters (4 inches). It has a tulip flower pattern. The absence of background stippling indicates late 19th century manufacture (Lorrain 1968).
