Known as a “Flower Frog,” this TIffany Favrile Glass Centerpiece was intended to display rare cut stem flowers, a popular hobby at the turn of the twentieth century. The elongated column at the center features two stacked rows of delicately applied undulating glass threads which form series of scalloped openings designed to hold stems upright, allowing rare and exotic flowers to be displayed to their full potential. 



This example, in an unusually large diameter, is notable for the impressive scale, deep saturation of the blue base glass, and the brilliance of the rainbow iridescence, which accents the leaf and vine decoration on the interior of the bowl. 



This exceptional example of original Tiffany Favrile Glass is inscribed on the underside with signature and date code.
