Because of his experience working with Tiffany, Bach produced glass that imitated the Tiffany signature "Favrile" iridescent glass, thereby pitting him against Tiffany in a bitter rivalry that lasted until Quezal's final demise around 1924. --- measurements: Overall: 13.7 x 29.1 cm (5 3/8 x 11 7/16 in.) state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: inscriptions: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: The Year in Review for 1989 opening date: 1990-02-06T05:00:00 The Year in Review for 1989.
