Vase. Culture: American. Dimensions: 7 3/4 in. (19.7 cm). Maker: Tiffany Studios (1902-32). Date: ca. 1904-09.This vase features a snake hidden among the stems and leaves of an arrowhead plant. In overall form, subject, and design--most notably the pierced neck--the vase closely resembles models made by the Copenhagen porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grondahl at the turn of the century. The Danish wares were illustrated in the journal "Keramic Studios," and Edith Lautrup, a decorator at Bind & Grondahl prior to working at Tiffany Studios, also may have been instrumental in the transmission of their designs. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
