Tiffany's vases in the shapes of flowers are among his most fanciful
creations. The earliest were tall, slender, budlike vases, which
varied in coloration from pale pink and white to darker and more
opaque green and red. Later, the slender buds gave way to open blossoms
with ruffled edges on willowy stems, such as this example.
