The Magnolia Vase
Tiffany & Co.
c.1893
The Magnolia Vase was the centerpiece of Tiffany & Co.’s display at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago—a display Godey’s Magazine described as “the greatest exhibit in point of artistic beauty and intrinsic value, that any individual firm has ever shown.” The design of the vase was a self-conscious expression of national pride. Pueblo pottery inspired the form, while Toltec motifs embellish the handles. The vegetal ornament refers to various regions of the United States: pinecones and needles symbolize the North and East; magnolias, the South and West; and cacti, the Southwest. Representing the country as a whole is the ubiquitous goldenrod, fashioned from gold mined in the United States. The exceptional craftsmanship and innovative techniques manifested in the vase—particularly the naturalism of the enameled magnolias—were much discussed in the contemporary press. Indeed, the work was heralded by the editor of the New York Sun as “one of the most remarkable specimens of the silversmith . . . art that has ever been produced anywhere.”

I’ve hit that stage of cleaning/redecorating where I just shuffle random objects about the house like ghost of a forgetful parlor maid.

Tiffany & Co. - The Magnolia Vase (c. 1893)
expecttheunexpectedtoday
1893 - “Magnolia” Vase / Tiffany & Company
-silver, gold, opals, enamel-
The collection of NY Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Magnolia Vase was Tiffany & Company’s most prominent silver entry at the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. Native and Latin American sources inspired the form, which was derived from Pueblo pottery, and the ornament for the handles, which relates to Toltec artifacts. Plant motifs represent various sections of the United States - Pine typifies the North; Magnolia, the Southeast; and Cacti, the Southwest. Standing for the whole country and applied in gold is the ubiquitous goldenrod
Another beautiful example of Ebu-Arts!
