I believe you have something here! I'm pretty certain this is L.C. Tiffany Favrile, and it is a fairly early piece. Early LCT pieces like this were signed only with a 5-digit number and originally had a paper label. This is an exceptional vase (about 4" tall?). I would be very surprised if others don't agree. Congratulations!
tiffany was my first thought...
just because a piece with a similar decor and with a 5-digit-number is pictured in a lötz book's preface.
the vase in the book has been shown at the exposition universelle in paris in 1900 if i recall correctly.
but i i was told it can't be tiffany over here in germany....
by a so called specialist....
anyway thanks a thousand times for your help, dasullywon!!!
My impression is Tiffany as well. Question: is the first digit really an "O" as in (oh)?
i think so....
otherwise it would be an zero
The Tiffany pieces I had did have a numbering system but it was also marked L.C.T. with the number. Doesn't mean it's not Tiffany....just an observation. The quality IS certainly there! BOB
The number does start with "zero" and this is consistent with Tiffany's numbering. In the book "Tiffany Favrile Art Glass" by Moise S. Steeg Jr. there is a very good explanation of the numbering (pg. 10) and on the very next page it shows an early piece with the number 03143 which is also unsigned. I have seen this shape on LCT before also, and the pontil is the proper size (assuming the vase is about 4" tall as I inquired/guessed). So in my opinion this is definitely early Tiffany Favrile.
sorry I've forgotten to answer your question
yes it's 4" tall
are the early favrile vases more rare than the later pieces?
please excuse but I've never been in touch with tiffany before...
it's quite exiting for me
As far as I know these early pieces are more rare, and more likely to be "unique". This does not always equate to more value however, because people like the signed varieties to reassure them that it's really Tiffany. If this piece still had it's original label that would have made a big difference, but there is still little doubt in my mind that this is genuine Tiffany.
Hello, your cabinet vase is in fact made by Tiffany Studios, circa 1897....the small "o" indicates that it is a "special order" vase...many of these vases were just numbered and had the early paper label attached which after many years fall off. This numbering system ended around 1900/1901. Your example has an unusual double decoration...all in all a very nice little Tiffany Studios vase.
Stunning getthatmonkeyoutofme!!
