The best LCT vase I own right now, this decorated gold Favrile beauty has incredible detail and color! The signature has the nice fluid script that must be very difficult to execute (and even more difficult to copy!) which further supports its' authenticity. I have seen many Tiffany fakes out there, but this one rings "genuine" in my book. The weight, shape, color, decor, quality and feel all work together to authenticate this article. This is an example where holding the item really helps, but the pictures speak for themselves! This type is sometimes grouped with the "paperweight" LCT vases, but the decoration is on the surface, so I'm not sure this counts. If anyone has an opinion on that I am listening, thank you. Enjoy!
I HAD the identical vase BUT the underbidder contacted the auction house where I bought it and they sent his letter on to me. He was so upset that he didn't bid higher and begged me to sell it to him for a good amount more than I paid. So I sold it to him like a FOOL. Regrets ever since.
These are getting harder to find, and I was lucky to find it as a "buy it now" for what I thought was a bargain. I'm pretty sure I will hold on to this one for a while. Thanks!
