- Description
- Window with Starfish (“Spring”) and Window with Sea Anemone (“Summer”) from the suite “Four Seasons Under the Sea” by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company.
These two windows which are from a set of four transfer the theme “The Four Seasons” to the underwater realm of the Sea. Each panel is so divided as to represent in the upper section the sky and water’s surface. Below a band of glass indicating a seawall and sandbar with shells, the viewer encounters starfish, urchins, and jellyfish as we plunge the depths of the water. The heavy use of rippled glass in plated layers quite convincingly affects the sea and its inhabitants.
