Tiffany Studios
Paperweight Vase

circa 1902
Favrile glass
engraved L.C.T. T5133
4⅝ in. (11.7 cm) high

Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays a wonderfully free and fluid composition of iridized gold and brown swirls overlaying the translucent body. When illuminated with remitted light the translucent glass displays a cool cobalt blue with mauve and light green. The glass presents with occasional minor air bubbles, particulate inclusions and surface irregularities which are inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass surfaces throughout with scattered, very fine and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior of the vase with traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with a Doros Collection accession number. A charming and dynamic “Paperweight” with great visual depth.
