The artwork titled “Double gourd-shaped vase with stylised leaves,” created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1898, is a striking representation of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This work belongs to the “Tiffany glass‎” series and falls within the genre of design and utensils.
The artwork is an elegant vase, characterized by its double gourd shape, which is a distinguishing feature. The vase surface is intricately adorned with stylized leaf patterns, which are rendered in a fluid, flowing manner, encompassing the distinct aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement. The use of glass, combined with the organic design, exemplifies Tiffany’s mastery in glasswork and his ability to integrate naturalistic elements into functional objects. The vase’s iridescent finish reflects light, enhancing its visual appeal and emphasizing the delicate craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to Tiffany’s innovative approach to decorative arts at the turn of the 20th century.
