Vase

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by Louis C. Tiffany is a rounded, slightly tapered vessel with a wide mouth and a flat, rounded shoulder. The vase is primarily shades of brown, gold, and purple, with swirling lines that resemble feathers. Two circular, peacock-eye-like designs are on either side, featuring shades of blue and green. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light beige at the bottom.
