Tiffany vase

Object Details

Description (Brief)
Favrile glass, made of opaque glass, over which are splashings of smokey yellow with changeable iridescent colors. Form: An ovoid body with a cylindrical neck. Blue/green opaque glass vase with luster drips. The lower section is bulbous and narrows down to a thin, tall opening. There are a number of stickers on the bottom. There is a round paper Tiffany label which says Tiffany-Favrille Glass-Registered Trade Mark and has the Tiffany symbol. There are two white oval paper stickers with red edges. One has the # 5161 on it and the other is 2000. They are both hand written. There is another sticker but it is illegible because the adhesive has bled through and has made it transparent.
