Below additional information on the design, photographs and usage of the EAPG RUBY STAINED SOUVENIR GLASS:
“Early American Pattern Glass” (EAPG), also known as pressed glass, was produced from roughly 1850 to 1910. Cheaper to manufacture than blown glass, this glassware was made in cast-iron molds and marketed as an economic alternative to hand-cut crystal.
The April 15, 1902 issue of the illustrated “Glass & Pottery World Volume X No. 4” identifies the Oriental Glass Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (1891-1918) as “the originators of the manufacturer of ruby stained glass in this country,” it is debatable. Ruby stained glass has been available in the United States since the 1880s and the earliest record of the Oriental Glass Co. is 1891. In addition to the Oriental Glass Co., ruby stained glass was produced by a number of companies, including: Heisey, Paden City Glass, New Martinsville Glass, Frank Kriesche of Mackinac Island, Duncan and Miller, Jefferson Glass Co., and others.

One of the most popular ruby stained patterns was Kings Crown, originally issued by Adams & Co. as its X.L.C.R., a crypted spelling of its other early name, Excelsior. This is a handsome pattern featuring a band of large thumbprints around the base of pieces, flanked by narrow serrated bands. Collectors named it King’s Crown, apparently because the thumbprints and serrated bands reminded them of a king’s crown. A variation called Ruby Thumbprint became the most widely used with ruby staining on the upper, plain portion. Only these ruby-stained pieces are called Ruby Thumbprint. Heavily reproduced from about 1890 to 1914, glassmakers produced this pattern in over 100 pieces.
