Vase 1893 - 1896

"Vase" is a small, intricately crafted glass vessel designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, a renowned American artist known for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement. Created between 1893 and 1896, this piece showcases Tiffany's mastery of Favrile glass, a type of iridescent glass he developed. The vase's swirling, organic form and shimmering, opalescent surface are characteristic of Tiffany's style, reflecting the natural world and the aesthetic principles of Art Nouveau. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, this "Vase" stands as a testament to Tiffany's innovative approach to glassmaking and his enduring influence on the decorative arts.
