Set of 4 textured old fashioned glasses, 1970s.
These old fashioned glasses capture the silent intensity of frozen matter. Sculpted in thick, transparent glass, each piece balances clarity with weight, solidity with nuance. While the upper body remains smooth and minimal, the base erupts into organic formations — rounded textures that evoke melting ice, mineral deposits, or glacial terrain shaped by time.
Rather than imposing symmetry, the design embraces variation: each base is subtly different, celebrating the sculptural spontaneity of glass in its molten state. This tactile foundation transforms the act of holding the glass into a sensory encounter, connecting hand and material in quiet dialogue.
Part of the Body of Glacier collection, these pieces explore the emotional potential of cold materials — where transparency meets texture, and function becomes form. Ideal for serving, yet evocative enough to stand alone as sculptural design, they bridge domestic ritual and elemental presence.
