Art Nouveau Rozenburg "Viper and Cockscomb" Eggshell Porcelain Covered Bottle
By Rozenburg Porcelain
Located in New York, NY
In this exquisite covered bottle designed by Samuel Schellink for Rozenburg, a dynamic viper is depicted in an aggressive, poised stance. Its head is raised and swaying rhythmically, hissing loudly as it coils tightly, baring its fangs in preparation to strike. The viper’s distinctive zigzag pattern of green and sienna scales serves both as camouflage and a warning to potential threats. Adding to its intrigue, the snake incorporates mythological elements, including a “beard” of two hairs. This bearded serpent motif, rare and symbolic, appears across various Classical contexts and media, including Greek, Etruscan, Roman, and Egyptian art and literature. Interpretations of this motif vary: some see the serpent as male, while others view it as an anthropomorphic deity. The bottle stopper is stylized like a flame, enhancing the dynamic and otherworldly character of the design. The sides of the bottle are adorned with twisted cockscomb flowers, their coral-like blooms characterized by tightly clustered, crinkled, and ridged textures. These flowers hold religious significance, often planted outside temples in India and China. Together, the bottle evokes an exotic image of beauty and danger, conjuring the allure of distant lands and referencing the origins of the fragrance’s ingredients for a Western audience.

Tiffany Studios New York "Nautilus" Table Lamp With "Mermaid" Base
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
In Tiffany Studios' exquisite "Nautilus" table lamp, a cast bronze mermaid emerges from a churning sea, holding a lighted nautilus shell aloft. This lamp, one of the few patented by Tiffany Studios, received its patent on May 2, 1899, and was featured in Siegfried Bing’s landmark Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition at the Grafton Galleries. The mermaid base was sculpted by Louis Gudebrod, the only lamp base artist credited by Tiffany Studios.
The nautilus shell motif, prominent in European decorative arts of the 17th century, originated from Dutch ships that transported the shells from the South China Sea, some 15,000 miles away. These shells showcased the Dutch Republic's global mercantile strength, and Dutch painters often featured them in still-life works—many of which are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection. Inspired by this artistic tradition, Tiffany transformed the iridescent shell into a table lamp. The shell softened and modulated the light, similar to the effect of Tiffany's Favrile glass shades, creating a warm glow reminiscent of the gas lighting familiar to the era.
Item #: L-21744
Artist: Tiffany Studios New York
Country: United States
Circa: 1899
Dimensions: 17.5" height, 4.75" width, 8" deep.
Materials: Nautilus shell, Bronze
Base Signed: GUDEBROD and Tiffany Studios New York
Literature: Alastair Duncan, "Tiffany Lamps and Metalware", Woodbridge, Suffolk, 2007, pg. 86, fig. 336.
Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
The shape of the exotic nautilus, found in the western Pacific, has long been the muse of architects, artists, and designers. One only has to look to Grecian columns, to spiral staircases, or to the nautilus cups of the sixteenth century for examples. Louis Comfort Tiffany's glass interpretation of the "Nautilus" shell design was first displayed at the Paris Exposition Universelle 1900, where he was displaying the best lamps that he had to offer. By bringing this intricate and difficult-to-make model to the World's Fair, Tiffany was showing the international design world just how well-made and beautiful a Tiffany Studios New York lamp...
