Louis Comfort Tiffany Pottery "Tomato" Vase
SOLD
$25,000
Known as the "Tomato" vase, this charming artistic pottery by Louis Comfort Tiffany is rendered in a brilliant celadon hue flecked with accents of emerald green. These delicate emerald green inclusions serve to highlight the robust modeling that gives the vegetal forms their sumptuous shape, enhanced by even slighter touches of a warm, mustard yellow. The lip of the vase curves substantially inward, mimicking the structure of the tomato that is the decorative motif.
