Chandelier c. 1905

This iridescent glass "Chandelier" (c. 1905) vase, made by an anonymous artist, showcases the beauty of Art Nouveau-inspired glassmaking. The piece, located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features a rounded body adorned with swirling, multi-colored lines reminiscent of a peacock's feathers, a motif popularized by the Art Nouveau movement. The intricate details of the design, achieved through the use of iridescence and the "feather" pattern, make this vase a captivating example of early 20th-century American glassmaking.
