Comments
Although a multispiral twist stem is very common on an air twist glass, the opposite is true for opaque twists, the multispiral being quite rare. The very thin threads and the fact that the threads come all the way to the edge of the stem marks the glass as a real stand-out...you won't find another in a hurry.
