Alice Carmen Gouvy

Alice Carmen Gouvy (c.1870-75 - March 27, 1924) was a designer at Tiffany Studios and worked closely with Clara Driscoll, the head of the Women's Glass Cutting Department.

[3] The department was originally set up in a small laboratory in Tiffany's mansion at 72nd Street and Madison Avenue, and moved to the glass shop at Corona in 1903.

Gouvy is known to have helped Clara Driscoll and Agnes Northrop to design some of Tiffany's iconic pieces,[4] including the Flying Fish shade, the Deep Sea base,[5] and the Dragonfly lamp.

[8] Eight watercolor sketches from Tiffany Furnaces around 1902, painstakingly restored, revealed the signatures of Alice Gouvy and Lillian Palmié.

They became the basis for an exhibit at the Rakow Research Library of the Corning Museum of Glass, Tiffany Treasures: Design Drawings by Alice Gouvy and Lillian Palmié, held November 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010.
