Art Deco style was a main step towards the modern product design, as we know it today. It replaced the nature inspired Art Nouveau and instead drew its inspiration from the age of machinery, the automobile, the moving pictures and the whole industrial progress in general; hence the prevalence of geometric forms in Art Deco items.
Facts of Lavish History bits — after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, glass production was rare and most decanters were made in pottery; some were made in bronze, silver and gold.
