Curator's Notes
Poinsettias, like many flowers, are considered symbols and bearers of good luck, but unlike other blooms, they are said to only provide such services only if carefully tended to and taken care of. We can see why, then, Louis Comfort Tiffany and his designers—notably, the team in the Women's Glass Cutting Department, who often worked on floral shades that were as complex as this one is—took such extraordinary care with the design of this shade, capturing the flower not only with accuracy, but with a sensitivity to its magic.
