Description
With Louis Comfort Tiffany’s pioneering development of opalescent
glass, artisans no longer achieved details by painting on glass, they
now painted with glass, and Tiffany’s brilliantly colored glass
masterpieces took on splendid three-dimensionality. Having
produced windows and blown glass for two decades, near the turn
of the 20th century his studios began crafting the now-famous
lamps that made Tiffany a household name. Designers such as
Clara Driscoll—who won a bronze medal at the Paris World’s Fair
of 1900 for one of her shade designs—often interpreted Tiffany’s
aesthetics and his desire to illuminate nature. A dozen designs—
nearly all attributed to her—are included in this calendar.
