This lamp has been in our personal collection for the last 7 years. It's only for sale at this time because we needed (and bought) a larger lamp to put in its place. You can imagine that I only kept the best as you can see. The colors in this 16" diameter Tulip are stunning. The condition is great, with very few, if any, hairline cracks. The patina on both the shade and base is wonderful. Properly signed on both the shade and base. 16" diameter x 24" tall. I hate to see it go, but c'est la vie.

Tiffany Studios , 20" Belted Dogwood
I've grown dogwood flowers before. They're always a beautiful shade of white or pink. Tiffany Studios' Belted Dogwood table lamp is true to the flower and gorgeous, with many pastel white and pink flowers. The background glass is apple green with lots of motting. The lamp is big at 20" diameter and 32" tall to the top of the cap. The base is the very desirable Cat's Paw adjustable model with 6 sockets. It can be raised to make it even taller, if desired.
The condition is superb, with very few hairline cracks and no restoration. The patina is fabulous on both the shade and the base. It is properly signed TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1491 on the shade and 391 TIFFANY STUDIOS 10941 NEW YORK on the base.
There are no excuses that have to be made for this stunning lamp. It's ready to go into your home at a very fair price. It's just been listed, so I suspect it won't last long, as the Tiffany market is hot.

Tiffany Studios , 18" Oak Leaf & Acorn
Oak Leaf & Acorn is a lovely decoration. On finer examples, the leaves and acorns are mottled. This gorgeous example is 18" diameter with really great color and mottling. The base is a killer example called a cushion base. It's similar to a library base, but has no feet. It's solid bronze and really heavy.
The patina is fantastic on both the shade and base and the lamp is fully and properly signed on both. The condition is superb with very few, if any, hairline cracks.
If you're looking for a truly special example of Oak Leaf & Acorn, this is it!

Tiffany Studios , 18" Tyler Scroll
I've owned several examples of Tiffany Studios Tyler Scroll lamps over the years. This one is one of the best because of the fabulous color in the scroll itself, with matching glass in the lower geometric borders. They're both displayed against a stunning green background. The condition and patina on both the base and shade are superb, with very few, if any, hairline cracks. Properly signed on the base and shade. 18" diameter.

This example is adjustable in height and has a wonderful original patina. The shade also can swing to direct the light to your side chair or sofa.

Tiffany Studios 10" Favrile glass shades are usually found on floor lamps or bronze table lamps. It's rare to find them with matching Favrile glass bases.

Tiffany Favrile, Floriform Vase
Tiffany Studios produced many vases meant to look like growing flowers, called floriform (or flowerform) vases. The shape of this example is called a calyx. It's decorated with a green pulled feather decoration. Many floriform vases have undecorated feet, so it's extra nice that the foot is decorated. Good tall size at 15". Properly signed L.C.T. W3319.
Item #: 3109010

Tiffany Favrile, Blue Hearts & Vines Vase
Tiffany blue decorated vases are much rarer than similarly decorated gold vases. And among blue vases there are great variations. This example is one of the best I've had the pleasure to offer for sale in quite some time.
First the blue is intense - always a good place to start. Then the green hearts and vines contrast beautifully with the background. Now for the form, which is classically elegant. It's a winning vase.
The picture-perfect signature 6443M Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc. Favrile indicates it was made post 1919, under the new direction of Douglas Nash. The form and color were perfected by that time.
Great cabinet size at 9" tall. Mint condition.

Tiffany Studios , Treasure Chest Inkwell
Tiffany Studios made many different inkwell models, most of which are desk set patterns. Very few stand on their own, as does this rare and very desirable Treasure Chest model. This example is particularly nice because of the wonderful variety of jewels in the lid of the inkwell. The condition is excellent, with a bit of wear to the gilding on the high spots. Signed underneath TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1038.

Ninth Century , Paper Rack
Tiffany Studios Ninth Century desk items are solid bronze and heavy as a result. They make for substantial desk items. Frequently some jewels are missing, but this paper rack has all of them. The front is in excellent condition with very little wear to the gold plating. The back shows more wear. But for an item that is overy 100 years old, it's in great condition. Signed underneath TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1625, together with a scratched in number that is frequently found on Tiffany items. (I've never been able to figure out the meaning, nor do I know of anyone who has.)

Tiffany Favrile, Green Decorated Vase
This is a strong example of a classical Tiffany Favrile vase. The dark green pulled decoration is bordered with gold iridescent banding, against a wavy opal background.

Tiffany Studios , 20" Dragonfly
When people think of Tiffany lamps, Wisteria and Dragonfly are the two models that come to mind first. They're quintessentially Art Nouveau and the epitome of Tiffany Studios lamps.
This particular 20" diameter example is stunning. It has the most beautiful soft blue wings on the dragonflies, with mottled green bodies and red jeweled eyes. The background is a beautiful mottled apple green.
The base is a rare and very desirable Cat's Paw adjustable model, where the height can easily be changed. It has a gorgeous original patina.
Both the shade and the base are properly signed. There are very few hairline cracks in the shade. The height of the lamp is adjustable from 24½" to 31".

Tiffany Studios , 15" Spider Lamp
Tiffany's Spider design is very desirable. It's one of the unique lamps that Tiffany is known for. I've only had a few examples over the years because they're hard to find and usually too expensive. This lamp came straight from its original home in New Hampshire. All I did was have it rewired professionally and waxed to bring out the great original patina. The beautiful green glass that transitions to white glass with green mottles is all original and in superb condition (except for two cracked tiles, only mentioned for accuracy). The original patina on the base is exceptional. 15" diameter.
Signed on the shade TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 337-10. Dash numbered shades are usually higher quality than other examples. It means they were part of a limited edition of a few lamps with special glass. Signed on the underside of the base with a matching number to the shade TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 337.
The lamp is very fairly priced and will be gone soon. If it's for you, contact me soon so as not to be disappointed.

Tiffany Studios , 10-Light Lily
Some Tiffany Studios lily lamps stand head and shoulders above the rest. This is one of those examples. It has 10 lights, with beautifully matched, highly iridescent, heavily fluted shades. That's what you want to see in a lily lamp. It also has all of the original porcelain sockets and has been professionally rewired. You'll find many lily lamps were rewired with brown plastic sockets to replace the defective ones. Not this example. Then you want a rich, original, green-brown patina. Check. Lastly you want all of the shades and the base to be signed. No problem.
I've bought and sold countless numbers of Tiffany lily lamps over the years and this is one of the best. It will look great in your home.

Tiffany Favrile, Cameo Vase
The two ways to make a vase into a cameo vase are either acid-etching or wheel-carving. By far, the most labor intensive is the latter. First the colored glass was applied by a second worker while the vase was molten. That step is called padding. Upon cooling, the vase was sent to a carver who manually carved the decoration from top to bottom. There is no acid-etching in this vase at all. It's totally wheel-carved and incredible. Nice size at 11¾" tall. Signed. Mint condition.

Sold for $13,500 in 2020
Tiffany Favrile, Tel El Amarna Vase
Tiffany named vases with a decorated applied collar Tel el Amarna, after the ancient city in Egypt. They were produced in gold, green, blue and red. Red is the rarest color and blue is next.
This stupendous example has exquisite blue color with purple highlights. It comes with an original gilded bronze base. The foot of the vase has been ground by Tiffany to a button that fits perfectly into its bronze foot. It's signed L.C.T. at the bottom of the button and TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK underneath the bronze base.
9" tall. Mint condition. Museum-quality for the best collections.

Tiffany Favrile, Mini Vase
What a little beauty! It's a killer Tiffany Favrile vase with applied and marvered chain decoration. In other words, the honey-colored glass was molten-applied and then pressed into the vase on a table called a marver. The small o numbering indicates it was special order from the 1890s. It's both charming and rare. Engraved signature underneath o9993 L.C.T. 2¾" tall. Mint condition.

Grapevine, Thermometer
I just checked my inventory and saw that the last time I had a Tiffany Grapevine thermometer for sale was in 2003. That should tell you how rare they are.

Pine Needle, Frame
All Tiffany Studios' frames are highly collectible because they're utilitarian. This example, in the Pine Needle pattern, is rare because it has rounded corners which require a lot more work. It's a very handy size, 9" x 7", for a 6" x 4" photo. It has beautiful glass and a great patina. Signed TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK on the back lower rim. Mint condition.

Tiffany Favrile, Purple Pastel Candlesticks
Tiffany produced pastel glass in the 1920s after Douglas Nash took over the factory. Pastel glass was meant to be both beautiful and utilitarian.

Tiffany Favrile, Salt, Pulled Applications
I've owned many Tiffany Favrile objects with applied and pulled decoration, but never before on a salt. It's as rare as hen's teeth. If you're a salt collector, I'll bet you don't have one of these. Signed. Excellent original condition.

Tiffany Studios , 16" Dogwood Belted
I've owned Tiffany Studios 16" diameter Belted Dogwood table lamps many times before, but this one is special because of the great color and fiery red-orange mottling. With this great library base, and a rich, original patina, and you have one fine package. Signed base and shade very few, if any hairline cracks. It's a great lamp.

Tiffany Studios , 10-Light Lily
I recently had several Tiffany lily lamps for sale and then sold them all, so for a while I had none. I'm pleased to say that now I have a good one. It's a wonderful 10-light, with matching shades and a really gorgeous patina. Those are the two most important qualities to look for and this lamp has them both. The base and all of the shades are signed. The lamp is as nice an example as you could ask for. For the best collections!
I get about one green Linenfold shade for every five I buy. They're moderately rare and very desirable. This example is a beauty, with vivid green color. The base is a very fine counterbalance example with a decorated column. The base platform is ribbed, with eight fancy, turned feet. The acid-speckled original finish is in very nice condition. So is the shade, with no hairline cracks and no restoration. The shade has a full signature "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK PAT APPL'D 1936", while the base has the usual "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK" signature. 10" diameter shade. The lamp is approximately 54" tall, depending on the position of the arm.

Tiffany Favrile, Nasturtium Cameo Vase
Nasturtium is such a beautiful flower in real life. The round leaves make it easy to identify.
The workmanship and color in this Tiffany Nasturtium cameo vase is breathtaking. Every single detail on the outside of the vase was carved by hand by a master carver. Also note that some of the leaves have internal color. That means the vase was first made with the leaves on the outside. Then a layer of clear glass was applied over that to make the leaves internal. It's an impressive feat of glass mastery.
Also notice that some of the leaves in the background are water lilies, so this scene was meant to be near a pond.
Nice cabinet size at 9¾" tall. Engraved signature on the underside 1107G L.C.Tiffany-Favrile. Mint condition.
Tiffany cameo vases don't come much more beautiful or higher quality than this example. It's for the best collections.

Tiffany Studios , Enameled Clock
When Tiffany Studios reorganized into Tiffany Furnaces, they added enameling to their repetoire, which is the highlight of this wonderful, totally original clock. It's actually in good working order, having been to a clockmaker recently. Usually I sell clocks as decorative items and don't guarantee the mechanism, but not in this case. Sold originally by Tiffany & Co. It's signed Tiffany & Co. on the face and Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces, Inc. on the underside of the case. The mechanism is by Chelsea, one of the finest of American makers.

Tiffany, Wisteria Vase
Tiffany Studios made far fewer pottery vases than glass. As a result, they're rare and highly collectible. This mini vase, 5¼" tall, with wisteria seed pod decoration, is sweet. It's got a lovely green glaze, with red speckles, that varies in intensity around the vase. Beautiful engraved signature underneath L.C. Tiffany - Favrile Pottery P1165. Mint condition with slight crazing and some peppering.

Art Deco, Tiffany Art Deco Clock
Tiffany's Art Deco pattern dates from the 1920s, after Tiffany Studios changed to Tiffany Furnaces. The squares are fired enamel and come in several different colors. Blue is one of the most beautiful and desirable. Clocks are one of the best items in any Tiffany pattern.
The clock is in excellent condition, with normal wear to the silvered surface and no wear to the enameling. The original mechanism by the Chelsea Clock Co., probably works, but is not guaranteed to work. (I never guarantee any clocks to work.) The clock is signed underneath LOUIS C. TIFFANY FURNACES INC., together with the Tiffany logo and the number 360.

Pine Needle, Double Card Box
Card boxes come in single and double. Both are moderately rare, with the double box the rarer of the two.
This double example, for two decks of cards, has beautiful glass and a fabulous patina. The condition is mint except for a tiny dent on the rim of the lid. It's totally unimportant, but mentioned for accuracy. Normal wear to the underside.
Signed TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK on one side underneath and numbered 25 on the other. 4¼" tall.
(I bought a couple of Pine Needle desk sets, so I have quite a few items for sale, but not enough time to list them all. Please inquire if you have specific wants.)

Grapevine, Letter Rack
It's nice to see that recently there's been a serious uptick in demand for Tiffany Studios' Grapevine and Pine Needle desk sets. And what's extra nice is that I just bought a really beautiful 13-piece Grapevine set that I'm willing to sell individually. (Feel free to ask about the other items before I get them all listed.)
This first example is a letter rack (not to be confused with a paper rack). It's actually much rarer than a paper rack. Letter racks have open sides, so they can fit letters of any length. The condition is exceptional, with a gorgeous original patina, beading around the edges, and beautiful glass with no damage.
It measures 6¼" wide x 5" tall. Signed TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK on the underside.

Tiffany lily lamps come in four sizes with the lily pad base -- 7, 10, 12, or 18 lilies. This example has 7 of the best, matching 10-point lily shades. The patina on the base is original and superb. If you've been looking for a Tiffany lily lamp at a more modest price than the larger examples, this one is for you. Signed on all shades and base.

Tiffany Studios , 7-Light Lily Lamp
The layer of 24K gold plating on gold doré Tiffany Studios bronze is thin and easily worn off. Frequently a layer of dirt protects the gold underneath. That was the case with this lamp. Cleaning the dirt off the base revealed the original gold doré finish in fantastic original condition. The shades are highly fluted and gorgeous, so the lamp is a really great example. Signed base and shades.

Tiffany Studios , 10" Gold Favrile Floor Lamp
I've recently been lucky enough to purchase several excellent Tiffany Favrile floor lamps. This is one of the examples.
The shade is 10" diameter in a rich butterscotch color, with strong ribbing that shows especially well when lit. The base is a bronze harp, with a wonderful wavy base and a gold doré finish.
The condition of the shade is excellent except for two very small chips on the fitter rim that are completely hidden when attached to the lamp. Additionally there are two tiny air bubbles on the surface, both original. One is open and the other is closed. They're unimportant and only mentioned for accuracy. The finish on the base shows some wear commensurate with its age.
The shade has an engraved signature on the fitter rim "L.C.T." and the base is signed underneath "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 682".

Tiffany Favrile, Red Tel El Amarna Vase
I've been buying great Tiffany Favrile vases from the same NYC collector for several years. This is one great example from a group of several vases that I just purchased this last week.

Tiffany Favrile, Blue Pinched Vase
It's difficult to tell you how special this vase is, but I'll try.
First, it's unique. It's got the fanciest signature and date of production, Feb. 15th, 1898 -- an incredible rarity. It's also signed by Louis Tiffany in his own hand, Louis C. Tiffany. The fancy engraving at the top has two initials before Tiffany that are difficult to read because the initials are so fancy, but they don't appear to be L.C. Perhaps they're a relative's initials, which would indicate Louis Tiffany gave the vase as a gift.
The workmanship is beautiful and special. It has chain-type iridescent decoration around the top third of vase. Below that it's pinched in three sections, creating indentations that make it easy to hold. It's a stunning vase, in a perfect cabinet size of 7¾". Mint condition.
