GLASS
Early 20th-century glass manufacturers expanded their range of color and form to meet the bright expectations of consumers before the Great Depression (1929–1939). New designs reflected modern artistic movements. The “sunshine” yellow facets of Reuben Haley’s “Ruba Rombic” creamer and sugar bowl are Cubist, using geometric planes to highlight changing visual perspectives. The lilac curves of Steuben Glass Work’s sherbet cups and the playful red drinking fish designed by Frederick Carder have Surrealist undertones, exploring dreamlike forms to reimagine objects for everyday use.
