This Tiffany vase is one of a pair placed on the Red Room mantel by Louis Comfort Tiffany during a major redecoration project during the Arthur Administration. They were modeled after a form made at Sevres in France in the early 19th century. This vase has a hand-painted scene of Cupid being locked away for his mischief.
