Design drawing
Not on view
This design drawing and its accompanying silver-gilt and glass vase (2014.698.2) is one of a very few examples that represent the collaboration between Louis C. Tiffany and Tiffany & Co. in New York, Edouard Colonna in Paris, and the workshops of Fabergé in St. Petersburg, Russia. This beautifully rendered watercolor depicting a blue vase and silver-gilt mounts in the form of snakes, bears the signature of Carl Fabergé. Tiffany glass with Fabergé mounts are very rare, and this exquisite example is especially unique in that the watercolor and vase survive together.
