Tiffany Glass from the Haggerty Museum
(Raynor, Level 2)
Long-term exhibit

Until the mid-twentieth century glass was primarily produced in factories by large groups of artisans.  The glass shown in this collection comes from Tiffany Studios, N.Y.  The designer and painter Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) established the Tiffany Glass Company in 1886.  Tiffany drew inspiration from Art Nouveau and invented new chemical compositions for glass but did not actually make the glass produced in his workshops and studios.  He had a cadre of artists who produced work in his name.  In 1894 the company received a registered trademark for hand-wrought luminous glass called Favrile.  For more information about the exhibit, please contact John Loscuito, Registrar, Haggerty Museum of Art (414-288-5922) or john.loscuito@marquette.edu
