Vase 1893 - 1896

This "Vase" (1893-1896) by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), is a stunning example of the American artist's renowned Favrile glasswork. The piece showcases Tiffany's signature iridescent glass, with its swirling colors and uneven, organic form. The opalescent glass is hand-blown and features a unique pattern of white dots on a dark background, highlighting the depth and translucence of the material. Now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this small but captivating vase represents Tiffany's mastery of glassblowing and his contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement.
