Provenance Christie's New York Important Tiffany Glass from The Minna Rosenblatt Gallery December 10,2003 Lot 454 LITERATURE: John Loring, Louis Comfort Tiffany at Tiffany & Co., New York, 2002,Martin Eidelberg, Tiffany Favrile Glass and the Quest for Beauty, New York, 2007 Catalogue note: AQUAMARINE One of the last major innovations in Tiffany Studios' glassmaking was the introduction of Aquamarine glass about 1912. The Tiffany craftsmen had been using paperweight techniques for a decade (works in which floral motives were worked in hot glass and then encased within layers of additional glass). Those made around 1900 generally had a shimmering golden background but, around 1910, this changed to a clear, transparent glass. Aquamarine glass introduced a subtle, green-tinged material that suggested a watery realm. Cased within the glass are yellow flowered plants like the one in this vase, floating in an aqueous world is this water lily. To further the illusion of watery depths, the glass itself is quite thick offering the viewer different perspectives such as one has when peering through actual water. Tiffany Studios' difficulty in making this glass was constantly emphasized. Not only was there the difficulty of properly annealing the many layers but equally challenging was the manipulation of the weighty glass ball while it was still hot and fluid. These technical difficulties caused much breakage, and the Aquamarine vases were costly as a result. Several examples were shown at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco.
