Aperitif Glass c. 1920

This clear glass "Aperitif Glass" from around 1920 features an elegant, slender design with a flared rim and a unique twist at the stem. The piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the Art Deco style popular during the period, characterized by geometric shapes and a focus on functionality and simplicity. This delicate yet striking glass would have served as a vessel for enjoying an aperitif, a light alcoholic beverage often enjoyed before a meal.
