Vase 1893 - 1896

This iridescent glass vase, created by Louis Comfort Tiffany between 1893 and 1896, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style. Tiffany's signature Favrile glass technique, characterized by its flowing, organic forms and vibrant colors, is on full display in this piece. The vase's undulating, abstract design and shimmering surface evoke the natural world, a common theme in Art Nouveau. Its small size, measuring only 2 7/8 x 3 1/8 inches, suggests it was likely intended for a personal collection or as a decorative accent. This particular example is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
