Inexpensive daily necessities, for mass production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasons why hand-blown glass was \"most common\" are thought to include: fewer tools required; production possible anywhere with skilled artisans; suitability for small-batch production, allowing flexibility for household items and local orders; household glass products being close to luxuries at the time, with emphasis on artisanal value; and the immaturity of industrial mass production technologies until pressed glass developed. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, pressed glass and mold-formed glass emerged, becoming dominant due to cost, time, and uniformity. As a result, hand-blown glass gradually became limited to the realm of luxury goods and craft items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e※Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42773971599444,"sku":"R070157","price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_956d20de-84f3-4bda-a649-e693f7f25fe4.jpg?v=1766106445","url":"https:\/\/adhocstore.com\/en\/products\/antique-hand-blown-glass-cup-70mm-european-vintage","provider":"ADHOCストアー","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
