Description
Tiffany Mosaic Dome in this photograph is made of iridescent favrile glass and is located in the rotunda in the south room of the Marshall Fields State Street building. Built-in 1907, this is the largest single piece of glass mosaic in the world, and so far as known, it is the first dome ever built of iridescent glass. It covers 6,000 square feet and is composed of 1,600,000 pieces of iridescent favrile glass. This masterpiece took 50 men a year and a half to complete.
“Favrile” means handmade and the “iridescent effect” was obtained by mixing different colors of glass while hot. “Favrile iridescent glass” is a type of art glass patented in 1894 by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
All proceeds will be donated to Chicago's Cornerstone Community Outreach in honor of photographer Richard Cleis, 1965-2021.
