Louis C. Tiffany (1848–1933) designed this style of window—colorless glass in a latticework pattern crowned by a magnificently blooming vine—to bring the outdoors inside. His company, Tiffany Studios, produced thousands of leaded-glass windows to decorate public buildings, private homes, and houses of worship with diverse flowers and plants. Especially fond of wisteria, Tiffany installed windows similar to these in his own dining room. To see additional works by Tiffany, visit our glass galleries on the opposite side of Huber Court.
