	Shaker stand A salt and pepper shaker stand, made of emerald green pressed glass. Circa 1900, Canadian glassmakers provided nearly half of the Canadian market (5.5 million people) with bottles, lamps and dishware. Back then, Canada was manufacturing pressed glass items by putting glass between a mechanical piston and a mold. Four Canadian companies were producing pressed glass: Burlington Glass, Nova Scotia Glass, Jefferson Glass and Dominion Glass. The latter assimilated the other three in 1913. Towards 1937, most Canadian glassmakers were automated. (Canadian)
