. American homes and gardens. Dutch glass tumbler and decanter with Tulip design, and tumbler of English glass 136 AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS April, 1913. used in taverns only, butthe stems of all glasses arereally the dictionary of theperiod. Of these, thosewith stems called the whitetwist, the cut stem, coloredtwist, air twist, plain stem,and ballister stem arefound. From these aremany off-shoots. The cut English liquor set. stems are found either in plain or engraved bowls, the en-graving ranging from baskets of flowers to the hop andbarley, the queer landscape and unusual pieces with themedallion of Brittania. The stems themselves show hand-some cutting in different funnel shapes. The earliest dateof the manufacture of this kind of glass was 1758, reachingits height in 1800. The white twist stems follow the drawn forms and areused rather for cordial or spirit glasses than for wineglasses. They are without exception the products of thelow countries, and it isdifficult to distinguishbetween the Englishpieces and the foreignones. Many hand-some specimens of this kind are found in the col-lection of Mrs. Charles at Salem, Mass.
