Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestick by Louis Comfort Tiffany features a clear glass base with a scalloped edge and rounded ribs. A coiled glass snake rises from the base; its head rests on the base, mouth open. The snake's body curves up to support a flared candle holder with a ribbed design. The background fades from dark to light gray.
