- Floral Paperweight Vase
- engraved 3076G L.C. Tiffany-Favrile
- favrile glass
Provenance
Acquired from Ray and Lee Grover by the present owner, late 1960s
Condition
Overall in very good condition. With some scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The interior of the vase with a few light surface scratches, presumably from prior gentle use. The bottom interior of the vase with some light surface soiling and minor surface pitting consistent with age and gentle use. Very impressive scale, with attractive painterly and naturalistic floral decoration. The decoration and colors show far greater nuance and definition than seen in the catalogue illustration, which is slightly oversaturated. The interior of the vase is subtly iridized, imparting the vase with a beautiful luminosity.
