Vase
c. 1937
Imagine holding a delicate piece of glass that transitions from crystal clear to a vibrant, raspberry-red rim. Eva Wilson captured this exact magic in her 1937 design study, using soft watercolor washes and precise pencil lines to map out every fluted curve and scalloped edge. It looks like a blueprint for a beautiful object, showing exactly how the light would catch the textured base and the fading pink glass. Design sketches like this are the secret behind-the-scenes magic of the 1930s decorative arts world, turning simple ideas into elegant reality.
