Wine glass c. 1920

This beautiful Wine Glass was crafted by an anonymous artist, and it now lives at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Imagine the artist carefully heating and shaping the glass, patiently coaxing it into its delicate form. The texture shimmers with subtle golden accents, catching the light like a whispered secret. It's hard to say exactly when this piece was made, but it definitely evokes a sense of timeless elegance, doesn't it? I can’t help but think about the countless hands that may have held it over the years, raised in celebration, or perhaps simply enjoying a quiet moment of reflection. There's a tactile quality here—the smooth, cool surface of the glass, the intricate knot detail, the way the light dances within. It reminds me that making art, no matter the medium, is about connection, both to the material and to the people who will ultimately experience it. It’s like we’re all in this ongoing conversation, riffing off each other’s ideas across centuries.
