"In 1920, Tiffany's glass production was reorganized under Nash's son, A. Douglas Nash, as part of Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces, Inc.; and, as in the case of the metal shop under Arthur Nash's other son, Leslie Nash, the production turned to more commercial table and other wares."<ref name="Tiffany at Tiffany & C Loring" /> In 1922, Leslie Nash, a creative artist and designer in his own right, had a major influence on Tiffany's production. "In 1922, in the waning period of Tiffany Furnaces, Tiffany and Leslie Nash—inspired by motifs from [[Tutankhamun|King Tutankhamen's]] recently discovered tomb—designed an elaborate special order,"<ref name="Tiffany at Tiffany & C Loring" /> for the wife of [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] millionaire [[Cyrus McCormick]]. Tiffany sold his interests to the Nashes in 1928. Arthur Nash retired after 1918, and "with him retired the secrets of making the finest and most technically complicated types of Tiffany glass, which remain to this day one of the crowning achievements of the decorative arts in America."<ref name="Tiffany at Tiffany & C Loring" />
