Bakewell, Pears & Co.
American, 1844 - 1880
Bakewell was known for the quality of its lead or “flint” glass, fine cut and engraved glass, window glass, bottles, lamps, chemical ware, and apothecary shop equipment. In its later years, the firm produced blown urns and jars, fish bowls, lanterns, smoke bells, and pressed glass patterns that bore names like Argus, Thistle, Prism, Rochelle, Icicle, and Saxon. The firm was one of the first to patent the pressing process and produced fine pressed wares—pressed furniture knobs and window panes—with the Bakewell mark.
