Description

  • Tiffany Studios
  • "Jack in the Pulpit" Vase
  • engraved L.C.T. W8235

  • favrile glass

Condition

Overall in very good condition. With a few minute burst air bubbles and air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. There are a few very small and fine internal cracks (the largest approx. ¼ inch long) on the interior of the stem just above the cushion base which are all reserved to the surface interior and do not go through the glass—thus they all appear stable and were possibly inherent in the making. The catalogue illustration is slightly too red and does not capture the full range of luminous colors achieved by the intensely crazed iridized surfaces on the ruffled rim. The front of the fan displays a beautiful range of purple and blue hues, while the reverse side of the fan displays bright pink hues. (Please feel welcome to request additional photos of this vase from the department.)
