Provenance
Sotheby's sale 28 May 1997, lot 45
Julius and Ann Kaplan Collection

Because of their difficult construction, all mixed colour-twist wine glasses are rare, while the canary-yellow thread is the rarest of all the colour-twist types. Another example with the same stem form was sold by Sotheby's, 13 October 1969, lot 232. For two very similar pan-topped examples see Sotheby's sale, 30 November 1999, lot 184 and Bonhams 30 November 2011, lot 211.
