Tiffany Studios

Macklowe Gallery, New York

Overall in very good condition. With a few minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The interior coupe with some light surface soiling. As is commonly seen in flower forms, the interior coupe with some scattered red spotting, which is inherent in the sprayed application of the iridescent surface treatment (not visually detracting and visible in the catalogue illustration). The top rim is vigorously ruffled, giving the vase a dynamic sculptural presence and evoking the delicacy of a flower petal. The interior of the coupe and underside of the decorated foot are beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminous color on the exterior. The bottom of the stem with light surface soiling to the recessed areas. The underside of the foot is slightly higher on two opposing sides and as a result sits slightly unevenly on a flat surface. The latter could be easily minimized/corrected with small felt glides.
