EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning silver beaker, created by American artist Lawrence Flynn in 1936, is a captivating blend of the 18th and 20th centuries. The intricately engraved vessel, with its elegant curves and delicate floral motifs, harks back to the ornate designs of the 18th century. Yet, the pen and ink on paper sketch of the beaker, produced by Flynn himself, is distinctly modern, reflecting the artistic trends of the 1930s. The beaker, a period item of silverware, is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts. Its creation during the thirties, a time of economic hardship and artistic innovation, speaks to the resilience and creativity of American artists. The beaker's vibrant silver finish, with its rich color and lustrous sheen, adds to its allure, making it a desirable addition to any art or homeware collection. This silver beaker, now a cherished artifact, was once a functional drinking vessel, used in the grand homes of the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it is a prized possession in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., part of the Index of American Design. The beaker's journey from a functional object to a work of art is a testament to the enduring appeal of silverware and the transformative power of art. Flynn's engraving of the beaker is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the United States. The beaker's intricate design, its historical significance, and its artistic merit make it a must-see item for anyone interested in American art, design, or history.
