By Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company, American, New York, 1900
"This punch bowl was owned by Henry O. Havemeyer of New York City, one of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most distinguished patrons, and it is among the most important works created by the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company. Formed of Tiffany’s hand-blown Favrile glass (after the Latin word fabrilis, meaning handmade), the punch bowl has an iridescent surface reminiscent of ancient Roman glass. The gilded silver mounts are classic Art Nouveau-style C- and S-shaped scrolls. The bowl is visible in a photograph of the Tiffany Favrile Glass display at the Paris World’s Fair of 1900 where Louis Comfort Tiffany won a grand prize and received the French Legion of Honor."

I collect these mid century colorful beauties— made by LE Smith, Viking, & Fenton. To make them: the glass is pressed into a mold, then, while slightly cool, picked up by the neck and “swung” in a pendulum motion to elongate and then stylize the mouth of the vase. Hence, the name 🧡💛🤎💚🩵💙

🍸Coupes, cups, martinis, flutes, wine - you can get it all for 25-50¢ a piece. And they're often gorgeous. I love my little collection.

💦My Nona always had a Hall ball pitcher in the kitchen. So does my mom. So do I. The Hall China Company started making these ceramic pitchers in the ‘30s and they became pretty ubiquitous in the 40s, 50s, and 60s in American kitchens. The bulbous shape is super classic, and the portfolio of glaze colors is amazing. I prefer the styles that have the white interior showing on the lip of the pitcher for some added contrast. Fill it up with ice and some water. Or lemonade. Or mint tea. Or pre-batched negronis. They’re affordable and all over eBay, Etsy, and the like.
