Artifact Overview
Glassmaker Emil Larsen came to Durand Art Glass with experience from Tiffany Studios and Quezal Art Glass. In fact, Larson first produced "Peacock Feather" patterned goblets at Quezal. At Durand, these goblets were produced in blue, green and in this case, ruby. During the late 1920s, Peacock Feather glassware became synonymous with glass made by Durand Art Glass.

Art Glass is ornamental and decorative glass dating from the mid-to-late 19th century through the early 20th century. Makers of Art Glass employed newly developed technologies for producing vibrant colors and surface textures. This is most famously seen in the iridescent surfaces of Louis Comfort Tiffany and his contemporaries, although Art Glass took many shapes and forms.
