Vase 1893 - 1896

This iridescent glass vase, created by Louis Comfort Tiffany between 1893 and 1896, exemplifies his signature style of Art Nouveau. The vase's form is inspired by nature, with its wide, fan-shaped opening resembling a peacock's tail feathers, complete with iridescent blue "eyes". Tiffany's masterful use of Favrile glass, a technique he developed to create unique, textured surfaces, gives the vase a captivating, almost organic quality. It is a testament to his dedication to crafting objects that are both beautiful and functional, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
