Tiffany Studios New York Decorated Paperweight Vase
Regular price
$15,000
This exquisite Tiffany Nasturtium vase is crafted in the paperweight technique, features green leaves and stems gracefully rising from the base, culminating in delicate white nasturtium blossoms. These flowers are set against a translucent green background, with a shimmering silver iridescent interior. The white flowers were created using a variation of the millefiori technique, with their centers formed from glass canes: a yellow core encircled by concentric rings of black and white canes. The petals and leaves were skillfully applied using a pontil and marvered into the glass, while the vines of the nasturtium were loosely threaded vertically for added texture and depth.

Favrile is the trade name Louis Comfort Tiffany gave to his blown art glass. The name derives from the Latin word fabrilis, meaning "made by hand." The technique was developed at Tiffany Furnaces in the mid-1890s using filaments from batches of differently colored glass and working the material while the glass was still molten.
