Description
- Tiffany Studios
- "Paperweight" Vase
- engraved L.C.T. Y4817 with firm's paper label
with drilled pontil - favrile glass
Condition
Overall in very good condition. With scattered minute air bubble inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting from the vase. The outermost exterior contours with some light surface scratches. The vase interior with light surface soiling. The interior is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity. With a Tiffany Studios factory-drilled open pontil on the underside. The vase is decorated with an abstract design and millefiore flower heads encircling the full body. The rich red coloration is quite dense, and best appreciated when the vase is seen with partially remitted light as seen in the catalogue photography. A lovely example with dramatic coloration and abstract decoration.
