This is a 5-1/4" Sterling Silver Tiffay Vase. Have searched the internet trying to find another one like it and have been unsuccessful. I know that Louis Comfort Tiffany didn't get into metals until 1897 and worked until 1920 with metals but maybe this was made later than that. Any help? Thanks.
It is so pretty. Was it made as a copy, as it is part of a collection? If so, it will be later than the 1920's. It may be 1970's.
If not, have you been in touch with any of the big auction houses? They may be able to help. Also try Libertys - they keep past records of items made for them, as does Tiffany. If you write / email the companys they may be able to help.
They also have web sites with past sales, and you may find another one on them in the archives. Christies, Bothams and Sotherbys are all easily accessible by the internet.
Good luck, and let everyone know if you find out anymore about it.
I have the same vase in my collection and have found little on it. Did you get it identified? Thanks for sharing.
I called Tiffany in NY and they told me they were on order and would be in NY from Italy around Oct. 2010. They sell for ~$850. each. Mine had 5 visible knicks and I wound up selling it to a jeweler for $325.00. Not bad for a $1. garage sale find.
