The Alfred Hitchcock Genuine Original “Tippi” Stemless Martini Cocktail Glass...

Description: Leading Lady Holding Martini Glass. Alfred Hitchcock was a witty raconteur and inveterate Martini drinker who believed that each and every scene in his films should be a “privileged moment.” He spent weeks agonizing over Tippi Hedren's precise image for 1963’s 'The Birds,’ as he had for all his icy blondes, but one thing he didn't spend much time thinking about was which type of Martini glass she would be holding so elegantly. Hitch chose a distinctive prop, a sensual, sophisticated, Neo-Modernist Martini glass, characterized by a fusion of simple shapes—a cone and a cylinder—to create a geometric and sculptural masterpiece that would look right in her hand. The classic v-shape Martini cone remains, but the stem is replaced with a rounded base of solid glass, a sophisticated form that harmonizes with both traditional and modern settings. Camille Paglia, Professor of Humanities at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and author of several acclaimed books about women writes, “I love the way Hedren handles cigarettes and a Martini glass with such remarkable sophistication. It is gesturalism raised to the level of choreography.” Offered is a Gift Box Set of 4 Alfred Hitchcock “Tippi” Martini Glasses, for keeping or giving.
