Vase 1900 Tiffany & Co. To celebrate the distinctive beauty of Native American art, Tiffany & Co.s gifted designer G. Paulding Farnham created three highly unusual silver vessels for the firms grand prize-winning display at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. The present vase is based on the design of Navajo pottery, its hand-raised silver body ornamented with semi-precious stones sourced in America: turquoise-colored amazonite and bluish opals, as well as hundreds of freshwater pearls embedded in the "corn-cob" handles. The vase was also exhibited the following year at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition. Paulding Farnham was one of Tiffany & Co.s most talented designers of both jewelry and silver. Having been apprenticed to Tiffanys artistic director Edward C. Moore around 1878, Farnham became the firms head jewelry designer in 1891 and continued to win gold medals at international fairs until departing the firm in 1904.. Vase. American. 1900.

Date: 18th century.Invented in Limoges, France, during the fifteenth century, the technique of painting enamels onto metal was brought by the Jesuits to China in the early eighteenth century. Jars and other vessels made in this technique are sometimes known as "foreign porcelains" in China. Painted enamels for court use were made in one of the specialized workshops in the Forbidden City, and those for domestic use and export were produced in private workshops in Canton. Consequently, in the West such painted enamels are commonly called "Canton" enamels. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA..

The porcelain service was part of a much larger diplomatic gift sent to Victor Amadeus II by the Saxon court, and due to its artistic and diplomatic significance, it has been well documented.1 This beaker and saucer belong to one of nine tea, coffee, and chocolate services that Victor Amadeus II received, and the gift included two small services for dining, five garnitures of vases, and a variety of other pieces of Meissen porcelain, some of which were part of the Saxon royal collections but nevertheless were selected to be presented to the Sardinian king.2 As has been noted bFlask 1840-60 Possibly Kentucky Glass Works.

This partial group (2014.626.1a,b -.7) of blue-cut-to-clear glass is extraordinarily rare and perhaps even experimental when it was made in the 1850s. This is the only known blue plated cut glass attributed to the Brooklyn Flint Glass Works.

New Kingdom, Amarna Period Egyptian glass vessels were often modeled after vessels originally made in other materials. This slender flask of turquoise glass was copied from an imported pottery "spindle bottle" of the type that Syrians are depicted carrying in contemporary Egyptian tomb paintings, actual examples of which would most likely have contained some sort of resin. The flask was core-formed and finished by hand, with the strap handle applied separately. The elongated, ovoid body and slender neck were decorated with finely executed zigzags of dark blue and white glass. The handle is embellished with repeating bands of dark blue, yellow, and white. Glass objects were first imported into Egypt from the Near East in the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Egyptian craftsmen, who had more than a millennium of experience manufacturing the related substance faience, quickly added the art of glass making to their repertoire..

New Kingdom, Ramesside Egyptian glassmaking, which had reached a high level of virtuosity in late Dynasty 18, continued to be practiced in the Ramesside Period; however, the quality, as well as quantity, of it production dropped off sharply in Dynasty 20.

Glass vessels were part of the luxurious domestic decoration displayed in wealthy households in both urban villas and rural estates in the later Roman and early Byzantine eras (about 300ñ725). Glass vessels were used for a variety of purposes, including cosmetic containers. In the kitchen and for dining, pitchers served water and wine, and small cups were used for drinking. Glass was also used for lamps to light the home.Byzantine glass craftsmen improved upon the techniques, forms, and decorative motifs they had inherited from their Roman predecessors. An imperial edict of 337 exempted glassworkers from personal taxes and attested to their relative status in society; it remained in effect for several centuries. These artisans would, in turn, pass on their craft to successive generations, including those who worked under Islamic rule after the important Byzantine provinces of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria were conquered in the seventh century.. GlVase Designed by Louis C. Tiffany American Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company American ca. 1900 This large-scale, baluster-shaped, golden iridescent vase with a lily-pad design was displayed in Tiffany's award-winning exhibit at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900. His participation in this fair was a triumph, gaining him international renown and clientele. Critics raved about his art glass in particular. The size, shape, color, and texture of the vase, which was later owned by Tiffany's sister, make it a remarkable example of Tiffany's best work.Candlestick with a conical bulb stem and candleholder and base with a water landscape, anonymous, c. 1775 - c. 1799 Porcelain candlestick with conical steel with nine ring -shaped thickening, bell -shaped base with a ribbed wall and a head -shaped candle holder with a ribbed wall and lobed edge.

Date: 1893-96.This object forms part of a group of over forty given to the Museum in 1896 by Louisine and Henry Osborne Havemeyer (96.17.9-.56). The gift was the first American glass to enter the Museum's collection. Most likely prompted by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Havemeyers presented their collection of Tiffany Favrile glass to the Museum only three years after Tiffany started making decorative blown-glass vessels. The shapes, colors, and finishes of Tiffany's vases and plaques were inspired by the natural world and ancient glass. This diminutive, scrunched bottle-shaped vase is reminiscent of Japanese forms.

His designs tended to be formal and restrained, often featuring creamy white glazes suggestive of the hue of Ding ware and green glazes resembling Longquan ware. Seif Yohei IV continued to create works in the studio’s signature colors but also produced pieces with strong color and flare that were his interpretations of Qing dynasty (1644-1911) glazes.
