engraved 419V L.C. Tiffany-Favrile

Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays a bright red body encasing abstracted amber yellow leaves and vines. 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 base with a factory-made aperture intentional to production. The yellow interior of the vase with scattered red spotting, inherent in the sprayed application of the iridescence, and traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with a Doros Collection accession number.

Provenance:
Sotheby’s New York, December 18, 2008, lot 3
