Being careful not to waste material, Louis Comfort TIffany's artisans reused small shards of leftover glass in small mosaic fancy goods such as trivets and trays.Description
By 1900, Louis Comfort 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.- ?–2018Charles Maurer [1929-2016], Cleveland, OH, bequest to the Cleveland Museum of Art2018–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
