Necklaces*The Met Store Morning Glories Bib Necklace

The pretty cast-glass flowers adorning this necklace celebrate the floral motif on a Favrile glass vase by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933). Formerly in the designer’s own private collection, it was among a group of items loaned to The Met in 1925, and later given to the Museum in 1951. This luminous vessel was part of a series depicting morning glories; the first one was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in the year 1900.
