Holiday Gift Guide – Day 24 – Russel Wright Imperial Pinch Glassware


Pinch Water Glass Set – Imperial Glass – Designed by Russel Wright – 1949

To pick up a Russel Wright Pinch Glass is a pleasure. The form of this glassware is designed to fit right in your hand – it cradles there perfectly and feels define. It is the definition of functional art.

Designed by Russel Wright in 1949 and produced by Imperial Glass throughout the 1950’s this glassware is elegant and beautiful. Made to compliment Russel Wright Casual dinnerware line for Iroquois China, these glasses are as at home on the table as they are in the living room with before-dinner cocktails. The glassware is very durable with thick walls and a polished bottom.

A set of these will make you the ultimate Santa to the person lucky enough to receive them as a gift. They are premium glassware though and a set of six is likely to run you about $175 – $200.
