This technique appeared in Hungary as early as the 17th century. In our exhibition, the earliest example of decoration ground into glass is a jug from 1773. The bottles fitting wine-bins have a typical 18th-century form. These vessels of square, prismatic body were made with the technique of blowing in form. Their figures truly reflect the success of expediency. They were used as so-called travelling vessels, neatly placed side by side. The glass exhibits in the second display-case were widespread and popular in the second half and towards the end of the 19th century. These are the so-called ruby-tanned bottles, the colorless surface of which was decorated by tanning. As a large part of them are wine-bottles and glasses, the decorations on them often come in the shape of vine-leaves and bunches of grapes. The third display case contains the so-called peasant glass objects. These were produced in the little glass-works in the 19th century in blown glass style. Among them, the glassware made in Regéc represents a larger group. These unique pieces reflect the distinctive features of the blown style. The so-called foamy glasses were made with a special technique, characteristic almost only of Regéc. The wine-bin, decorated with convex circular patterns, is a characteristic peasant glass specimen of the Párád factory, the other important and artistically acclaimed glass-house located in the northern mountain region.

It is well discernible that, in the case of these objects, it is not the form gained by blowing that provides the aesthetic experience
