Tiffany Studios New York American "Lava" Vase
-
Description
A Tiffany Studios New York American Art Nouveau "Lava" vase. A visit to Mount Etna in Sicily during one of its eruptions is said to have inspired Tiffany to capture in glass the force and beauty of the molten volcanic flows and basaltic rock formations that he observed there. The free-form abstract drippings of gold molten glass and the speckled blue and gold ground recreate the naturalistic effects of flowing lava and make this vase an exceptional example of the form. Circa 1908.
Provenance: The Garden Museum Collection, Matsue, Japan#11; : Important Art Nouveau from the Private Collection of Lloyd & Barbara Macklowe at Sotheby's 1995
