Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. With some small and minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The exterior with a few very minor and faint surface scratches. The interior is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity and heightening the visual depth of the carved decoration. The vase is exquisitely hand-carved around the full circumference, displaying finely articulated details and dimensionality to the carving in a dynamic and lyrical composition. Please note that the catalogue photography was taken with both frontal reflected and interior remitted light; when viewed under standard reflected light conditions the vase is less saturated and less red in coloration; the coloration is more subtle and naturalistic. Please feel welcome to request additional photographs from the department.
