Louis Comfort Tiffany, Vase

Behind me you see a collection of spectacular blown-glass vases by the New York decorator/designer/stained-glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany.

I want to focus in particular on the most spectacular of this group.

In the center, this blue, iridescent glass of 1913 that really marks the high point of what was an intensive exploration of modern materials and forms.

The glass is called Favrile and it exploits the iridescent natural and accidental beauties of blown glass in this form which drew its inspiration from a Jack-In-The-Pulpit flower.

I mean, it scares me every time I look at this object, it's so fragile and attenuated, its form.

What I love about this glass is the way it combines ancient and modern.

Tiffany was inspired by ancient Roman and Syrian glass, which had this iridescent finish when it was dug up.

At the same time he wanted to create these startling, modern objects.

People were blown away when they were exhibited at the Colombian World's Fair and in the Paris 1900 Exhibition.

But what you see in this blue vase of 1913 is almost like the last gasp and the culmination of this intensive exploration of form and technique, for which Tiffany became internationally famed.
