Favrile glass
engraved Paris Salon 9816A L.C. Tiffany-Favrile
5⅛ in. (13 cm) high

Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays cool cyan blue leaves outlined with thin purple borders and connected by a web of canary yellow vines that pop against the green-tinted transparent ground. 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 rim with some very fine tooling marks, inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The interior with traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with a Doros Collection accession number. An exceptionally artistic work with an aqueous composition and lively coloration.

Catalogue Note:
The present lot was likely produced for the 1905 Paris Salon.

Provenance:
Pat Gueriglia, Saugerties, New York, 1987
