Tiffany Favrile, Blue Favrile Cup

Blue Favrile Cup
Blue Favrile Cup
Blue Favrile Cup

This blue Favrile cup is stunning for a couple of reasons. First, it has the most amazing color and iridescence; deep blue on the exterior and intense purple on the interior. Second, it's prunted (those are the twists that are done to the glass while it's molten.) 3½" tall. It's properly signed underneath and in mint condition. The price is inexpensive for such a quality Tiffany Studios item.

Tiffany Favrile, Tiffany Calyx Flowerform Vase

Tiffany Calyx Flowerform Vase
Tiffany Calyx Flowerform Vase

Tiffany produced many varieties of flowerform (also called floriform) vases, meant to look like growing flowers. This example is called a calyx, meant to look like the sepal of a flower. It's a lovely shape, slightly bulbous and triangular. The decoration is pastel green pulled feather.

The vase measures 12½" tall and is in mint conditon. It is signed underneath L.C.T, as well as numbered 1685B. Additionally there is a collector's number D1197 enameled around the pontil.

Tiffany Favrile, 10" Favrile Shade

10" Favrile Shade

I rarely get 10" diameter Tiffany Favrile shades for sale by themselves. This is one of those rare opportunities. The shade is quite beautiful, with typical Wave decoration and excellent iridescence. Additionally it has ribs that show especially well when the shade is lit. The fitter diameter is 3¼", not 2¼", so it will fit either in a 10" ring or a lamp base with a larger fitter. Signed "L.C.T. Favrile" in the fitter rim. Mint condition, with no grinding or restoration.

Tiffany Favrile, Arabian Lamp

Arabian Lamp
Arabian Lamp
Arabian Lamp

Tiffany Arabian lamps come in different varieties, with the most desirable having matching glass bases. They also come with bronze bases (which are less desirable). Unfortunately many examples have been bastardized to create examples which Tiffany never created.

This example has no excuses. It's all original, except for the wiring and plug (which you do not want original because of the fire danger). The color match is excellent between the shade and base; they're both properly signed; the socket and acorn pull chain are original; and the condition is mint. It's a great example for any fine Tiffany collection. You couldn't ask for better. 14¼" tall.

Blownout Inkwell

I've only owned a few Tiffany Studios blownout inkwells over the years and never this model. They're special because the gaffer first started with the metal cage and blew the glass into it. It cannot be removed. Additionally, condition is very important, as it's easy to damage the glass. This example has been treated with kid gloves. It's in impeccably fine condition with no damage to the glass and with a rich original patina to the metal. Larger than the usual inkwells at 7" diameter. Signed.

Blue Decorated Bowl

You probably know that blue Tiffany Favrile glass is rarer and more desirable than gold Tiffany Favrile glass. Decorated (in this case with green leaves & vines) blue glass is the next step up.

This little double-lobed bowl, 2¾" tall x 4½" diameter, is as good as this shape gets. The color and iridescence are superb with strong blue on the exterior and purple on the interior. The form is elegant. The brass flower frog is original and almost always lost. It's a miracle this one survived 100 years.

The condition is mint, with an original very minor flaw on the underside rim (visible in the third photo). It's iridized, original to the day it was made, and only mentioned for accuracy.

Tiffany blue decorated vases are much rarer than similarly decorated gold vases. And among blue vases there are great variations. This example is one of the best I've had the pleasure to offer for sale in quite some time.

First the blue is intense - always a good place to start. Then the green hearts and vines contrast beautifully with the background. Now for the form, which is classically elegant. It's a winning vase.

The picture-perfect signature 6443M Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc. Favrile indicates it was made post 1919, under the new direction of Douglas Nash. The form and color were perfected by that time.

Millifiori is Italian for "a thousand flowers".  It's used to describe the floral decoration that is applied with glass canes.  Tiffany didn't do this decoration often, so it's moderately rare, and much more so because of the dark green background.  The rolled rim is another virtue.  This 3" mini vase is an outstanding example.  Signed.  Mint condition except for a tiny burst bubble (that is visible in the second photo.)  It's unimportant and listed only for accuracy.

Blue Pinched Vase

It's difficult to tell you how special this vase is, but I'll try. 

First, it's unique. It's got the fanciest signature and date of production, Feb. 15th, 1898 -- an incredible rarity. It's also signed by Louis Tiffany in his own hand, Louis C. Tiffany. The fancy engraving at the top has two initials before Tiffany that are difficult to read because the initials are so fancy, but they don't appear to be L.C. Perhaps they're a relative's initials, which would indicate Louis Tiffany gave the vase as a gift.

The workmanship is beautiful and special. It has chain-type iridescent decoration around the top third of vase. Below that it's pinched in three sections, creating indentations that make it easy to hold. It's a stunning vase, in a perfect cabinet size of 7¾". Mint condition.

Museum-quality, for the best collections!
