    In 2007 Kiki Smith collaborated with the esteemed glassware company Stueben to produce five etched glass objects inspired by animal imagery.  The centerpiece and largest of Kiki Smith's Tattoo Collection is this grandly scaled mouth-blown vase of polished glass adorned with Kiki Smith's interpretations of classic tattoo motifs: a sinuous snake, a bird on a branch, flowers, moths and stars.
