Tumbler

Add to album

This clear glass tumbler was designed by Andreas D. Copier in 1958 and made in 1965 by Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek of Leerdam in the Netherlands.

The cylindrical tumbler has a deep wide horizontal cut groove near the base.

Andreas Copier, born in 1901, joined the Leerdam glassworks in 1914 and continued to design and produce avant-garde works at the factory until he was in his eighties. Some of the early pioneers of the American Studio Glass movement came to study with him in the late 1960s, as did British artists of the following generation. He invented a number of new techniques and was one of the first to experiment with non-functional free blown shapes as early as 1958.
