An iconic design, the "Morning Glory" was first made around 1913. The range of colors is phenomenal, with the adsence of the typical gold iridescence on the interior, the flowers become the focus of attention. It was so difficult for Leslie Nash and Tiffany's gaffers to create the morning glory, and so exorbitantly expensive, that during the time of their original sale they were among the rarest and most expensive of Tiffany's glass forms.
