Historical Context
 
Air twists gave way to opaque twists in the mid-18th century as taste shifted towards bolder, more decorative designs. Opaque twists, with their white canes, created a stronger visual effect and were more fashionable.
 
At the same time, advances in glassmaking allowed for more complex and intricate stem constructions, making opaque twists a showcase of both craftsmanship and status.
