Tiffany Studios New York "Pansy" Favrile Glass Vase

$45,000
Known as a "Pansy" vase, this Favrile glass creation by Tiffany Studios New York begins with a bulbous base in deep hues of striated, swirling iridescent blue. Shooting upward from the base is an elongated, narrow neck of similar coloration, darkening in hue as it ascends. From the narrow neck explodes an outward facing glass bloom in brilliant hues of green, bright blue, purple, orange and gold, all made to shimmer by the undulations in the bloom's outer edges, all tinged with iridescence.

Curator's Notes
The term “Jack-in-the-Pulpit,” commonly used by collectors today, is in fact a misnomer; this model is more accurately identified as a “Pansy” vase. The form of this Favrile “Pansy” vase was first developed by gaffer John Hollingsworth (American, born England, 1851–1923) in 1906. Like all of Tiffany’s skilled glassmakers, Hollingsworth was encouraged to experiment at the furnace, fostering continual innovation in form and finish. Its blue favrile surface begins as cobalt glass that was sprayed with a metallic salt solution of silver nitrate. From the outset, these vases were highly prized by early collectors of Tiffany’s blown glass, earning near-unanimous—and often poetic—praise from contemporary critics.
