Flip Glass, c. 1940
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor and graphite on paper rendering by American artist V. L. Vance, showcasing a classic tumbler of the era. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s, a period of significant change and innovation in American design. The tumbler, depicted in the artwork, is a prime example of the functional and decorative art known as Flip Glass. This unique tableware design gained popularity during the 1940s for its distinctive feature - a hinged base that allowed the user to "flip" the glass upside down to pour liquids without spilling. The tumbler in Vance's artwork is rendered in rich, verdant green and cool aquamarine hues, reflecting the vibrant colors commonly used in glassware of the time. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate lines and shading, bringing the glass to life on the page. This artwork is not only a beautiful representation of a period item but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American art. It is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The artwork invites us to appreciate the aesthetics and functionality of this iconic piece of American design history. The Flip Glass tumbler, with its unique design and vibrant colors, is a symbol of the creativity and innovation that characterized the American art scene during the 1930s and 1940s. V. L. Vance's rendering of this object not only captures its essence but also invites us to reflect on the rich history of American art and design.
