«Jack-in-the-Pulpit» vase with iridescent shimmer
Wilhelm Kralik Sohn, Eleonorenhain
H 44,9,
The vase type «Jack-in-the-Pulpit» is based on the flower of the arum or arisaema, in North America called «Jack-in-the-Pulpit», in a free interpretation. It was originally an invention of the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company around 1899 and, due to its great popularity, was also quickly produced by European art glass manufacturers in their own variation.
