What Defines An Art Deco Glass?

An art deco glass can be broadly defined as a decorative cocktail glass, popularised by the 1920’s movement, typically ornate and decadent. It isn’t limited to the atypical tall cocktail glass, but also encompasses short hammered tumblers, goblets and lowball whiskey glasses.

Art deco design may be present; whether ridged glass detailing, tinted colour tones or literal art deco engravings of geometric shapes, animals and flora. It’s generally accepted that traditional cocktail party glasses are also loosely known as art deco cocktail glasses.

Pebley jug - dusk

Technically not a drinks glass, but definitely befitting of this art deco glass round up. Our Pebley Jug in a graceful shade of dusk is as elegant as it is memorable. Gorgeous large hand hammered dimples are to be found on its body, whilst its curvaceous shape and tonal appearance give it that undeniable art deco feel, it’s perfect for serving water or to refill jugs of a chosen punch/cocktail. It, of course, looks nicest alongside the rest of the fabulous Pebley glass range.
