Did You Know?
Tiffany's artisans excelled at creating elaborate enameled patterns for luxurious accessories.Description
By 1900 Tiffany had expanded his empire by increasing the firm’s production of “fancy goods,” including inkstands, candlesticks, clocks, small boxes, desk sets, tea screens, and other functional objects. Along with the array of artistic glass designs from his factory in Corona, Queens, works in ceramic, bronze, other metals, and even jewelry abounded. These smaller, more affordable luxury items were designed with as much thought to artistry as the great stained glass windows and lamps through which the firm enjoyed unrivaled success.- ?–1970William Ellery Greene [1914-1985], Bronxville, NY, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art1970-The Cleveland Museum of Art
