52nd Annual Delaware Show

The firm’s role as a leader in high-end goods and services also created a level of recognition in popular culture. Following the release of the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s (based on the 1958 book by Truman Capote) and the 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever featuring the Bond girl Tiffany Case (based on the 1956 book by Ian Fleming), the popularity of the name Tiffany skyrocketed. The image of the elegant Audrey Hepburn (fig. 6) and the sex-appeal and glamour of Bond- style living cemented the relationship of the Tiffany name with luxury-seekers worldwide. We invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of Tiffany Studios glass, to encounter the personal stories behind Tiffany purchases and gifts, and to explore the fascinating histories of the Tiffany businesses. Experience luxury at Winterthur . . . you deserve it! Catharine Dann Roeber is Assistant Professor, Decorative Arts and Material Culture, at Winterthur.
