This elegant glass frame reinterprets a Favrile glass roundel (1893–96) designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) and housed at The Met. The luminous decoration in the Museum's holdings features a fabulous flower embellished with intricate veins. Favrile glass, named after the Old English fabrile, meaning "hand-wrought," was a late 19th-century development by the Gilded Age visionary, who discovered that blending colors in molten glass achieve extraordinary effects of shading and texture.
