  • engraved 3959G L.C. Tiffany-Favrile
  • favrile glass

Condition

Overall in very good condition. With a few small and minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The ruffled fan with some subtle linear tool marks, and a small area of successive linear tools marks below the open aperture of the fan and to the outermost contour of the foot (both visible in the catalogue illustration), all inherent in the making and quite commonly seen in Jack in the Pulpit series. The exterior surfaces with a few occasional light surface scratches. The exterior surfaces of the vigorously ruffled fan and foot are beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with superb luminosity and a spectacular range of brilliant hues as seen in the catalogue illustration and adjacent detail photograph. The interior with some very light surface soiling; the bottom interior of the stem just above the foot with traces of natural debris only visible under very close inspection with a strong light. An outstanding example displaying strong proportion and form and richly saturated coloration. -----
