George Bacchus & Sons, originally called Bacchus & Green[1] was a 19th-century manufacturer of fine
glassware located in
Birmingham, England.[2]
In the 1830s Bacchus produced
pressed glass by using a plunger to force molten glass into a cast-iron
mold. In the 1850s, they began making cased glass, which has thin layers of different colors which can be cut away to produce
cameo glass.[2]
Bacchus also produced cut glass items, including Venetian-style
paperweights[3] and tableware.[2]
