Tiffany Studios

Linda Feuer, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner, circa 1990

Overall in very good condition. The favrile glass with a few occasional small and minor air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The bottom of the vase interior (two inches above the stem) with very small and minor dark red spotting, which is inherent in the application of the iridescence. A fine example of the form, with finely articulated pulled feather decoration and pinched contours around the circumference of the upper floral register, which imparts the vase with a strong sculptural effect. The interior is intensely iridized, imparting the vase with a delicate rose-colored hue from within. With an elaborately decorated foot with finely controlled pulled feather decoration in a foliate design around the stem (not visible in the catalogue illustration). The underside of the foot is strongly iridized, imparting the foot with strong luminous color.
