Bankruptcy sale of the contents of Tiffany Studios, late 1930s
Private Collection, Maryland
Lillian Nassau, New York, circa 1975
Acquired from the above by the present owner, circa 1980

Overall in very good original condition. Please note that this lot includes 153 square tiles. The tiles included in this offering, as seen in the catalogue illustration, display a brilliant and richly saturated color palette ranging from fiery reds, yellows, blues, purples and green. Each of the tiles presents with a unique palette but the color story is consistent through the collection and is shown in the catalogue illustration. The tiles appear to have not have been used, and remain in excellent original condition with some small and very minute edge chips and scattered surface scratches. Each with the raised abstract floral decoration. The tiles are of the same scale, with little variation, across the collection. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a large number of tiles. ----
