Satin glass and Mother-of -Pearl glass were produced in large quantities in the 1880s. Satin glass is most often a multi-layered glass which is blown shiny and then given a satin finish. It comes in all colors and was made in a wide variety of shapes and forms. Rose bowls, vases, baskets, toothpick holders, cruets, and biscuits jars were some of the many styles produced. Mother-of-Pearl satin glass was mold-blown to form a pattern in the glass. It was made in several patterns including herringbone, dotted swiss, raindrop, diamond quilted, moire, flower and acorn and cut velvet, and was done in a wide array of colors including a rainbow pattern. A gather of glass, often of opal glass, was blown into a mold. Then, a second layer, usually of colored glass was blown over it to seal the air in the design of the mold. The effect is charming and made this glass a favorite of the day. Often, this glass has enamel or coralene, applied ground glass, decoration. This ware was so popular that Mount Washington issued Phoenix Glass Company a license to produce it.
