Louis C. Tiffany Favrile Journal

Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) embodied the artistic spirit of America’s Gilded Age, and this journal celebrates his visual ingenuity. In the early 1890s, he developed a method of blending different colors together in glass while it was in a molten state, thus achieving subtle effects of shading and texture. An iridescent Favrile glass vase with a peacock feather motif in The Met collection represents the height of his achievements.
