Tiffany -
large glass bowl - 8 1/2" in diameter
and 2 1/2 " high. Mark -
inscribed "L.C.T " and " Favrile ". Deep amber iridescent
bowl is in a good condition with no cracks or
chips, some wear to surface and rim. Bowl has a scalloped rim and ribbed
sides and it is in shades of blue, amber and even a greenish tint at
times. If held to bright light it looks mostly amber or gold color and
most if not all of blue coloring disappears. This glassware, covering a wide
diversity of types, was produced in glasshouses operated by Louis
Comfort Tiffany, America's outstanding glass designer of the Art Nouveau
period, from the last quarter of the 19th century until the early 1930s.
Tiffany revived early techniques and devised many new ones.
