EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Milk Glass Vase, created by American artist Wellington Blewett around 1936, is a captivating example of the decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The vase, which measures approximately 11 inches in height, is depicted in this watercolor and graphite drawing on paper from the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Blewett, a renowned artist and designer, was known for his intricate and detailed drawings of various objects, including glassware and other homewares. In this piece, he expertly captures the subtle color variations and ornamental details of the milk glass vase. The vase's smooth, opaque surface is adorned with delicate floral designs, adding to its timeless charm. Milk glass, a type of translucent glass that appears white or opaque due to the addition of titanium dioxide, was a popular choice for glassware during the 1930s and 1940s. The use of milk glass in this vase adds to its classic appeal and makes it a desirable piece for collectors and art enthusiasts. The Milk Glass Vase was likely produced in a glass factory during this period, reflecting the industrial production techniques and design trends of the time. Despite its factory origins, the vase's intricate design and timeless beauty make it a valuable addition to any art collection or home decor. This drawing provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the heritage art and design of the 20th century in America. The Milk Glass Vase by Wellington Blewett is a testament to the enduring appeal of glassware and the artistry of its creators.
