ART: Iris from Smithsonian Catalogue

I was browsing through a Smithsonian catalogue I came across while cleaning,
and found an iris item.  I noted the web site
(http://www.smithsoniancatalogue.org) and hopped online to see if it was
still available.  That got me 5 hits.  First is the item I saw:

Capodimonte Porcelain Iris

$27.50  ($24.75 for museum members)

This fabulous porcelain floral accent is meticulously hand sculpted and
handpainted in Naples, Italy. This violet iris recalls the European
porcelain flowers in the ceramics and glass collections at the National
Museum of American History.

Tiffany Iris Lamp

$349.00  ($314.10 for museum members)

Irises appear frequently in Japanese art, which greatly influenced the
Impressionists as well as Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). In this
resplendent lamp, blue and pink irises are set off to great effect with a
vivid green background. A pattern of irises adorns the base. 110V; 3-way
switch uses 3-way bulb, 100-watt max. UL approved.

Details: 22"H x 15-1/2"W (shade)


Van Gogh's Irises

$49.00  ($44.10 for museum members)

In terms of sheer output, Vincent Van Gogh's (1853-1890) career was
astounding: he produced all of his work during a 10-year period. His style,
of course, reshaped our definitions of beauty, with its striking colors,
coarse brushwork, and contoured forms. Irises ranks as one of his most
recognizable masterpieces, a study in the vibrant beauty of nature.
Wood-framed print replica with two mats and glass insert. Ready to hang.

Musče D’Orsay, Paris

Details: 13-1/2 H x 15-1/2 W x 1 D

And two others.
