Our Eye-Catching Glass Frame Borrows The Decorative Motif On A Favrile Glass Vase (Ca. 1906) Designed By Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) And Housed At The Met. In The Late 19Th Century, The Gilded Age Visionary Developed A Method Of Blending Colors In Molten Glass, Thus Achieving Subtle Effects Of Shading And Texture. He Named The Results “Favrile” (After The Old English Fabrile, Meaning “Hand-Wrought”), And Was Duly Celebrated For The Spectacular Opalescent Quality Of These Creations.
