This diminutive blue Tiffany Favrile compote, 3½" tall x 3½" diameter, has strong blue and purple color and a beautiful mirror-like finish on the interior. It's an exceptionally nice example. Signed and numbered on the underside. Mint condition.

Blue Tiffany Favrile glass is rarer and more desirable than gold Favrile glass. This example has intense blue-purple color. The better the blue, the better the vase. It's a nice, large trumpet vase, 14" tall, with pronounced ribbing. If you like blue Tiffany Favrile glass, this example is for you. Signed. Excellent condition.

The two ways to make a vase into a cameo vase are either acid-etching or wheel-carving. By far, the most labor intensive is the latter. First the colored glass was applied by a second worker while the vase was molten. That step is called padding. Upon cooling, the vase was sent to a carver who manually carved the decoration from top to bottom. There is no acid-etching in this vase at all. It's totally wheel-carved and incredible. Nice size at 11¾" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

The workmanship and beauty of this carved chalice is astonishing. Let me explain. First the three individual parts had to be hand-blown and assembled while the glass was molten. Then while still molten, the green glass was added. It then was iridized while hot. On cooling, it was transferred to a master craftsman, who meticulously carved all the detail in the grape leaves and clusters, as well as the leaf and vine decoration on the stem. It's a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Nice big size at 9" tall. I added a photo with a ½ liter bottle of Coke to show you the size. Signed. Mint condition. For the best collections!

Tiffany Favrile floriform vases vary considerably in size, decoration, color and quality. This example has it all. The green pulled feather decoration is well executed and contrasts nicely with the opalescent ground. The decoration extends down the entire stem. The foot is gold iridized on the underside, so the effect is of a paperweight. The form is lovely, with a nicely crimped rim. Good size at 12¾". Signed and numbered underneath. The condition is immaculate, including the interior of the bowl.

I've been lucky recently to be able to purchase several superb Tiffany Favrile floriform vases. This example is one of the best. It's quite large at 14½" tall. The decoration is green pulled feather, against a lightly iridized gold, opalescent interior. The decoration continues all the way down the leg where it attaches to the clear glass base, which has been iridized on the underside (paperweight technique). The highly fluted, stretched glass rim tops off the artistry of this beautiful vase. Engraved signature and number underneath. Mint condition.

Lovely, rich color on this elegant Tiffany Favrile floriform vase with pulled feather decoration.  11¾" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.

When do you see a Tiffany Favrile vase with a cool combination of a free-form body and random prunts? It's a rare vase with outstanding iridescence. 3¾" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

This is another of the outstanding vases that I recently acquired from a superb private collection. The wave and hooked feather decorations are gold and white on an iridescent gold background. White decoration adds a nice touch, not often seen on Tiffany Favrile decorated vases. 8" tall. Pleasant decoration and form. Signed. Mint condition.

This is a strong example of a classical Tiffany Favrile vase. The dark green pulled decoration is bordered with gold iridescent banding, against a wavy opal background. The top rim is folded, which as you can imagine, is a very difficult thing to do with molten glass. Good size at 10¼". Signed. Mint condition.

The core of many Tiffany Favrile glass collections is often a Jack-in-the-Pulpit vase. The quality varies from example to example. This one has all the qualities to look for in a desirable example. It's tall, 20"; the mouth is large; the iridescence is strong; the condition is excellent (with a few minor scratches around the foot). Engraved signature on the underside. Tiffany produced Jack-in-the-Pulpit vases to impress and this one fits the bill.

I recently purchased several very fine Tiffany Favrile vases from the same NYC collection I've been buying from for years. 

This example is a truly outstanding paperweight vase with what I think are nasturtium flowers and leaves. The vase is lovely and the quality is very high.

4¾" tall x 4¼" diameter. Signed "L.C.T 6669B", which dates it to approximately 1907. Mint condition.

As most of you know, red is the rarest and most desirable of Tiffany Favrile colors. This example is not only strong red, but is also decorated with a blue-black hooked decoration. It's not large, at 3½" tall x 4" diameter, but it's superb quality. Signed and numbered. Mint condition.

I've been buying great Tiffany Favrile vases from the same NYC collector for several years. This is one great example from a group of several vases that I just purchased this last week.

The vase is a great red Tiffany Favrile Tel el Amarna vase with exquisite grey and black chain decoration in the applied rim. It's a stunning example for the best collections.

5½" tall x 6 diameter. Beautiful engraved signature on the underside "L.C. Tiffany - Favrile 5561E". Mint condition.

When do you see color like this on a Tiffany Favrile vase? It's the richest turquoise, deep ocean blue, you could ask for. Between the blue and the opal background, a gold iridescent hooked feather decoration was put. It's a real beauty. 5½" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

There's an interesting story behind this vase. A lady contacted me for an appraisal of her Tiffany vase. I couldn't believe it when I saw the photo of a spectacular, authentic, Tiffany Favrile wheel-carved vase.

The lady said it was a gift to her mother years ago and she would like me to sell it for her. I was very pleased to oblige.

The vase is 16" tall and heavy, with thick walls. The base glass is white covered with a green layer, which is then covered with a gold iridescent layer. The magic of the vase happened when a very skilled craftsman carved a gorgeous lily flower and bud and leaves into the vase. It's a very rare example that I haven't seen one quite like before. The suffix J in the number indicates it was made in 1915.

The condition is excellent except for a 1" scratch below the flower and above some overlapping leaves. There is also some scuffing around the foot rim. It's all very minor, especially for such an important vase.

The French frequently used acid-etching to create designs, but Tiffany rarely used the technique. Here is a fine, rare example with maple leaf decoration. Nice bulbous shape, with applied foot and sized at 8½" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

Straight from a fabulous private collection comes this really great and very rare Tiffany Favrile Agate vase.  Incredible quality.  Heavy vase, with thick glass.  For the BEST collections.  5½" tall x 5½" diameter.  Signed "V886 L.C.T. Favrile".  Mint condition, except for a tiny open bubble in the making, only mentioned for accuracy.

Very attractive vase with unusual swirl pattern throughout, extending all the way to the undersurface.   Good iridescence.  Solid, heavy vase.  Nice cabinet size at 8½".  Signed.  Mint condition except for a couple of scratches on the widest part of the vase.  Very fairly priced.

Aquarmarine vases are extremely rare and valuable.  This beauty is the only miniature I have ever seen.  The glass is very thick and heavy, much more so than a paperweight vase.  4" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.  (From the same private collection as the other recent additions.)

Is this vase killer, or what?  I just got it from a great private collection.  It's called a black decorated vase, but you can see it's got a lot more color than that.  It's decorated with gold hearts & vines, with blue trailings.  It's the most outstanding example of a Tiffany Favrile black vase I've ever had the pleasure of owning.  Nice size at 9" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.  For the best collections.

I've been continually buying great Tiffany Favrile glass from an important American collection. This is my most recent purchase.

Nice size at 6½" tall. Signed. Mint condition except for a chip to the button of the pontil (which is totally unimportant, but mentioned for accuracy).

Tiffany black decorated vases are a rarity and this one is special with the intricate blue pulled decoration.  Great contrast with the background.  12".  Signed.  Mint condition.

Tiffany Favrile millifiori vases are all desirable, but especially when the background is black. This is an important little beauty that I bought from a private home. It will improve any Tiffany collection. 3¾". Signed. Mint condition (with one tiny flaw on the side, original to the making, and only mentioned for accuracy.)

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. 

Tiffany blownout inkwells are quite rare and desirable.  This one is in fabulous original condition with a mint patina.  The glass is the original blown glass, also in mint condition.  The inkwell insert is not original.   Signed.  Mint condition.  (#606200)

Tiffany Favrile blue salts are much rarer than gold salts.  This example is even rarer because it has two pulled handles.  Add to that the intense blue color and excellent iridescence and you've got a very desirable salt.  Signed. Mint condition.

Great iridescence on this peacock blue compote.  Nice size at 6" tall x 6¼" diameter.  Signed.  Mint condition.

Decorated flower bowls are somewhat common in gold with green hearts but quite a bit rarer in the blue version.  This example has exceptional color and iridescence with careful workmanship.  The stretch glass is very effective and appealing.  There is no damage to the loops on the flower frog, a common and important problem.  This is a top notch example for any fine collection.   It's a nice big example at  11¼" in diameter.  Fully signed.  Excellent condition.

Tiffany blue decorated vases are much rarer and more desirable than gold or green examples.  This little beauty is 2½" tall x 3" diameter. Signed.  Mint condition.

Is this vase great, or what?  Really fantastic color and decoration, with a folded rim.  You couldn't ask for better.  For the best collections! 7¼" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.

Isn't this a wonderful vase?  It's not very big, 5¾" tall, but what it lacks in size in makes up for in quality.  It's a gem, with multiple, rare decorations, beautifully executed, and with deep colors on a deep cream background.  Signed.  Mint condition.

Is this Tiffany Favrile vase gorgeous, or what?  I love it.  Great decoration and color.  Substantial size at 4¾" tall x 6½" diameter.  Signed.  Mint condition.

This shape is a Tiffany Favrile classic.  It's found in different sizes, with different decorations.  This combination of the small size (6") and the blue glass with green hearts and vines decoration is moderately rare and quite desirable.   It's a really gorgeous mini vase, with great color.  Signed.  Mint condition.

Just got four fabulous vases from a private collection. This special Tiffany Favrile example has busy vanilla and butterscotch hooked feather decoration on a blue background, with wonderful  color and iridescence. The decoration is full and goes completely around the vase. It's a very fine example for the best collections. 4¾" tall x 6¼" diameter. Signed. Mint condition.

Any Tiffany Favrile blue salt is rare, but a flared one is even rarer. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had a flared blue salt for sale. This one has unbelievable color and iridescence. It was de-accessioned from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and still has the museum numbers underneath. Signed plus a paper label plus the museum numbers. Mint condition. Salts don't get any better than this.

Tiffany Favrile 5-fluted compotes are relatively common in gold, but not in blue. This example has very pretty stretched glass, with strong iridescence, ranging from blue on the flutes to incredible purple in the cup. 4¾" tall x 5½" diam. Signed. Mint condition.

Beautiful small footed dish with the best stretched glass.  Fabulous deep blue color with green iridescence.  6" diameter.  Signed.  Mint condition.  (#60614)

Another very fine example of great Tiffany decoration on strong blue.  This vase comes in a gold version that is not nearly as rare or valuable.  6".  Signed.  Mint condition.

This Tiffany Favrile model comes in gold or blue.  Blue is by far the rarer and more desirable variation.  This superior example has great color and iridescence, with a bit of sparkling goldstone in the leaves.  5¾" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition except for a tiny nick on the underside of the bulbous portion (only mentioned for accuracy.)

Just got four fabulous vases from a private collection. This wonderful Tiffany Favrile example has rare hearts and vines decoration, with really great color and iridescence.  The sudden color change is reminiscent of lava decoration.  The decoration is full and goes completely around the vase.  For the best collections.  5¼" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

Just got four fabulous vases from a private collection. This special Tiffany Favrile example is fully decorated with dark and light blue King Tut decoration, sometimes called Damascene.  As with the other vases from this group, the color and iridescence are superb. The decoration is full and goes completely around the vase. 4" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

This Tiffany Favrile mini vase is a real honey. 2¾" tall with superb King Tut decoration on very dark green to blue. Great iridescence. Signed. Mint condition.

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.

Tiffany Favrile millifiori vases are rare and desirable.  They're usually found on a gold background.  That's what makes this example so special -- the colors are unique and fabulous.  Millifiori (thousand flowers) decoration was done with glass canes that were applied to the molten vase.  It's a great technique that wasn't used often.  This example also has extensive leaf and vine decoration. It's an important vase for the best collections.  5" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.
