Curatorial Remarks

Note

Style says: "Stiegel Tradition." Arlene Palmer, Curator of Ceramics and Glass, Winterthur Museum, states "like one at Vermont Historical Society" and "double-dipped" (8/21/1978). Flip glass refers to a mixed drink, usually consisting of a sweetened, spiced liquor (as beer, wine or rum) to which beaten eggs have been added. (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary)
