American Modern water goblets
Old Morgantown Glassware Guild, Inc.
USA, 1951
3.75 x 3.75 x 4"
Glass
Unsigned

In the last issue of Ars Longa, I listed American Modern glassware as a major want on my "to look for" list for 2005. These 6 water goblets are a small step towards my goal of a complete set.

A beautiful contour, and equally stunning color, this design was initially introduced in 1951 as a compliment to Wright's American Modern dinnerware. The design holds up well over the years, and looks as modern in 2005 as it would have in 1951.

Found on March 19, 2005 in Minneapolis, MN.
