the simple method of perforation ornamented glasses were made with foot and without foot alike. Cup-shaped goblets were preferred most. Memorial glasses with pressed ornaments appeared in the second half of the 19th century. They were specially favoured in the peasant households of Upper Hungary. The portrait of Lajos Kossuth or patriotic inscriptions could be seen on these glasses which were usually made in the glass-work of Párád.
