Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. With a few small particulate inclusions, linear tool marks and minor surface imperfections to the upper fan, all inherent in the making. The exterior with a few very light and fine surface scratches. The exterior is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminous color and a range of brilliant jewel-tone hues. The bottom interior with traces of surface soiling and residue. A fine example with strong articulated crinkling around the perimeter fan and strong color and iridescence. The catalogue photography does not sufficiently capture the full range of colors seen in the iridized surfaces when viewing the vase with reflected light. The colors are more dynamic and nuanced than seen in the catalogue photograph.
