The 10-inch-tall handblown goblets were tinted pale green, their stems crawling with tiny, jewel-like glass ants and snails.Amid “uncertainty and disconnection, there’s a movement toward dopamine décor,” says the Los Angeles-based glass artist Cedric Mitchell, 39, who makes brightly colored tumblers that perch atop 24-karat-gold-flecked balls. “People are filling their homes with objects that spark joy, creativity and conversation.” · With wine and spirits consumption down, such vessels are also being used to lend zero-proof beverages a sense of occasion.Like Arbib and Prounis, many of these new glassmakers started out working in other creative realms. The Bordeaux, France-based Margot Courgeon, 31, studied sculpture at the Sorbonne in Paris and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels before founding her line, Ulysse Sauvage. Her stemware appears to defy gravity, with what look like water droplets extending up from, rather than dripping down, their rims. Like Podrabska’s goblets, her leaning wineglasses — which resemble tulips bent by the wind — were flipped over, their bases used as tiny plates for cream puffs, at a Dior cocktail party in Paris in December.
