A leader of the Art Nouveau movement, Louis C. Tiffany (1902 - 1932) and his designers used his invention of favrile glass to create mouth-blown vases infused with iridescent color. Tiffany was often compelled by the natural world, and this particular peacock motif was used in some of his most important architectural commissions and ornamental vessels.
