Louis Comfort Tiffany "Cabbage Leaf" Vase
Regular price
$25,000
A charming vase with wonderful, naturalistic patterning and the unusual inclusion of four robust handles, the "Cabbage Leaf" glazed pottery vase by Louis Comfort Tiffany is a wonderful collector's piece. Executed primarily in a buttery yellow with emerald green accents, the vase mimics the appearance of an unfolding kohlrabi cabbage bloom. The tapering handles are bone white in color and stout in form, a lovely visual counterpoint to the delicacy of the cabbage leaves.
