This is a quote from Oscar Wilde that is in the book "Louis C. Tiffany, Rebel in Glass", I really like it and wanted to include it in our web site. 

"And what is the meaning of this beautiful decoration which we call art?  In the first place it means value to the workman (or woman) and it means the pleasure which he must necessarily take in making a beautiful thing.  The mark of all good art is not that the thing is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart.  I cannot impress the point too frequently that beautiful and rational designs are necessary in all work."
