Louis C. Tiffany's "Garden Landscape and Fountain" Mosaic

This is a favrile-glass mosaic called "Garden Landscape and Fountain" by Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933) that was installed in Tiffany Studios showrooms in New York City ca. 1915. The mosaic is now on exhibit at the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

From the Met exhibit caption:

Tiffany's work in mosaic, inspired by Byzantine examples he had seen abroad, dates to the 1880's, when he began experimenting with iridescent glass and transparent tesserae backed with metal leaf. Mosaic decoration graced countless interior by him, from churches to department stores. The culmination of his interest was the vast "Dream Garden" mosaic, created in 1925, after designs by Maxfield Parrish, for Edward Bok at the Curtis Publishing Company in Philadelphia. Tiffany may have made this shimmering garden landscape as a preliminary study for the Curtis commission. It was among the decorations that graced the Tiffany showrooms until their contents were auctioned in 1938.

Grapevine Panel by Louis C. Tiffany

This is the Tiffany Grapevine Panel (leaded favrile glass) on display at the Metropolitan Museum's American Wing. Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) is known for creating one of a kind art objects—handblown vases, special order mosaics and windows, and finely crafted jewelry—consistent with his mission to bring beauty into the home. Tiffany’s stained glass brought him the most recognition, particularly his opalescent Favrile glass. When green opalescent Favrile panes were placed behind etched and pierced metalwork design, it gave an effect of a grapevine window.
