Label Text

This vase was part of a collection of early modern glass assembled by Harvey Littleton, the “father” of American studio glass. He used the collection to teach his students about glassworking processes. The wrought-iron mount was made in Nancy by the French furniture designer Louis Majorelle (1859–1926).
