Describe the distinctive features and style of Tiffany's Favrile glassware as exemplified by the Peacock Vase
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In the iridescent Peacock Vase, every detail is built up from what Tiffany called "genuine glass"; none of it is etched, painted, or burned into the surface. It embodies the Art Nouveau style in its wavelike, undulating line, its asymmetry, and in the organic motifs of the peacock feathers.
