Favrile Journal

Louis Comfort Tiffany 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 represents the height of his achievements.
