Did You Know?

The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was named after a rare breed of South American bird, the quetzal, known for its colorful iridescent plumage.

Description

The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was begun by former employees of Louis Comfort Tiffany as a rival operation in 1902. With its expressive form and brilliant golden iridescence, this vase represents the finest work produced by the Queens, New York, company in the Art Nouveau style.
A flower sculpture represents a single jack-in-the-pulpit flower. The flower has a tall, thin green glass stem with vertical white stripes rising from a bulbous base decorated with gold leaf patterns. At the top, the stem flares into a wide, undulating rim with a central opening and an iridescent surface of gold and pink hues. This rim features a finely rippled texture.
