In 1865, during a visit to a London Museum, Louis C. Tiffany was inspired by the iridescent ancient Roman and Syrian glass collection. As a result, he created the modern equivalent known as "favrile glass." His innovative work was later patented and went on to win a gold medal in the 1900 Paris Exposition, ultimately revolutionizing decorative glass.

Made for the Chrysler Museum from the vase in the permanent collection.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

About the Artist

Louis Comfort Tiffany

Louis Comfort Tiffany was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts. Throughout his career he forged a unique style that combined excellent craftsmanship with a love of nature forms and brilliant color. Though he worked with a multitude of mediums, he is best known for his work in stained glass. This beautiful design pairs Tiffany’s most famous medium with his favorite motif: the peacock. Peacock feathers featured countless times in both his personal life and his professional career. Renowned for their beauty, peacocks have both religious and secular appeal, making them the ideal design motif for Tiffany’s ecclesiastical commissions.
