Vase with Queen Anne's lace

Tiffany Studios

ca. 1904–09 · Porcelaneous earthenware · The American Wing

Louis Comfort Tiffany employed the motif of Queen Anne’s lace, also known as wild carrot, in his pottery, glass, and jewelry designs. Here, the bracts (stems on the underside of the blossoms) curl upward to form the organic shape of the vase. Queen Anne’s lace was also the inspiration for the design of a cameo-cut glass vase and a hair ornament on view in this gallery (1997.409 and 2001.249).
