Cocktail Set
This is a Cocktail set.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Milwaukee Art Museum as part of The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.
Elsa Tennhardt’s cocktail set for the E. & J. Bass Company is a study in geometric form with its triangular, conical shapes and ray-like decoration. Made during Prohibition, this set appealed to those who thought it chic to ignore alcohol restrictions.
It is credited Lent by Milwaukee Art Museum, Purchase, with funds from Demmer Charitable Trust, M2015.69.1a-8.
