The Metropolitan Museum of Art Tableware*Louis C. Tiffany Peacock Feather Covered Mug With Tea Infuser

Our Fashionable Covered Mug Highlights The Detailing On A Fabulous Vase (Ca. 1900) By Louis C. Tiffany (American, 1848–1933). In The Early 1890S, The Gilded Age Designer Developed A Method Of Blending Colors In Glass While It Was Still In A Molten State To Achieve Subtle Effects Of Shading And Texture. He Called The Results “Favrile” (From Fabrile, An Old English Word Meaning “Hand-Wrought”), And Was Duly Celebrated For The Ingenious Development.
