Description

 Tiffany scholar Martin Eidelberg has chosen to follow his 2007 book on Favrile glass with this one on pottery, unearthing valuable new information.


His thoroughly researched and documented text, which features more than 120 illustrations and informative archival photos, establishes Tiffany’s “quest of beauty” (the artist’s own term), the context of the pottery’s evolution, and a discussion of those who made it. Concluding with a section on Tiffany pottery marks and an exhaustive guide illustrating 295 of the approximately 300 shapes produced, this excellent study shines a much-deserved light on this rewarding subject.
