I collect these mid century colorful beauties— made by LE Smith, Viking, & Fenton. To make them: the glass is pressed into a mold, then, while slightly cool, picked up by the neck and “swung” in a pendulum motion to elongate and then stylize the mouth of the vase. Hence, the name 🧡💛🤎💚🩵💙

"This punch bowl was owned by Henry O. Havemeyer of New York City, one of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most distinguished patrons, and it is among the most important works created by the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company. Formed of Tiffany’s hand-blown Favrile glass (after the Latin word fabrilis, meaning handmade), the punch bowl has an iridescent surface reminiscent of ancient Roman glass. The gilded silver mounts are classic Art Nouveau-style C- and S-shaped scrolls. The bowl is visible in a photograph of the Tiffany Favrile Glass display at the Paris World’s Fair of 1900 where Louis Comfort Tiffany won a grand prize and received the French Legion of Honor."

Coupes, cups, martinis, flutes, wine - you can get it all for 25-50¢ a piece. And they're often gorgeous. I love my little collection.

This short is such a mind trip. Charles & Ray Eames created this to put the sheer magnitude of outer space into perspective…and then they compare it to the vast world of our microscopic molecular building blocks. They look eerily similar! Great to put on at parties 😉
