Jack-in-the-Pulpit Vase
Two former employees of Louis Comfort Tiffany's glassworks, Martin Bach and Thomas Johnson, founded the Quezal firm and named it after the brightly feathered Central American quetzal bird. Using the same method of manufacture practiced at the Tiffany factory, the company made artistic ware with pulled and applied decoration of lustrous iridescence. The Jack-in-the-Pulpit form of this vase is considered to be one of the few art forms in America that can be convincingly associated with Art Nouveau, and the most important form made by Quezal.
