The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was begun by former employees of Louis Comfort Tiffany as a rival operation in 1902. With its expressive form and brilliant golden iridescence, this vase represents the finest work produced by the Queens, New York, company in the Art Nouveau style. The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was named after a rare breed of South American bird, the quetzal, known for its colorful iridescent plumage.
