Description:
This hand-blown glass vase represents a late 20th-century interpretation of the Peacock Feather motif originally created by Louis Comfort Tiffany during the Art Nouveau period. The piece exemplifies the continuing influence of Tiffany's designs, featuring characteristic iridescent glass and applied decoration that mimics the distinctive eye pattern of peacock plumage. The organic form and iridescent surface treatment demonstrate the manufacturer's engagement with historical glassmaking techniques while creating a distinct contemporary piece.

Produced by Phoenix Studio, a recognized manufacturer of art glass. The preserved original label provides clear attribution and confirms the object's provenance as a conscious revival of the Tiffany aesthetic.

Louis Comfort Tiffany's original Peacock Feather designs emerged during the height of the Art Nouveau movement, drawing inspiration from natural forms and exotic patterns. While authentic Tiffany Studios pieces reside in major museum collections, 20th-century interpretations like this Phoenix Studio vase represent the democratization and commercial adaptation of this celebrated design tradition.
