Label TextThe Art Nouveau style of decoration, popular during the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, influenced a great deal of art glass. Inspired by Japanese art and natural motifs, Art Nouveau's sinuous asymmetrical lines were most applicable to the decorative arts. Leaders in the Art Nouveau movement were Emile Galle and Louis Comfort Tiffany, both who influenced many glass factories. One such factory was Vineland Flint Glass Manufacturing Company founded in Vineland, New Jersey, in 1897 by Victor Durand, Jr. This vase by Durand illustrates typical Art Nouveau elements. The peacock feather motif is derived from Japanese art. Iridescent glass such as this was made popular by Tiffany, who imitated the decayed surfaces of the unearthed ancient glass wares. The form and threaded glass of this vase recall the ancient core-formed vessels of the Mediterranean on a grand scale.
