An important early 20th century Favrile glass flower large bowl with matching frog Centerpiece by Tiffany Studios, produced in the United States circa 1926. Known as the “Leaf and Vine” pattern, this elegant floral bowl exemplifies Tiffany Studios’ late production of functional yet highly decorative Favrile glass tableware and interior objects.
The bowl is hand-blown in Favrile glass, a material patented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1894 and celebrated for its inherent iridescence achieved through the incorporation of metallic oxides into the molten glass. The surface displays subtle tonal variations and depth characteristic of authentic Favrile glass. The accompanying glass frog is designed to support floral arrangements while remaining visually integrated with the bowl’s organic form.
This example is fully signed, with the glass insert etched “1790 453N L.C. Tiffany – Inc. Favrile” and the underside of the dish etched “1790 – 9182L L.C. Tiffany – Favrile,” confirming the model number, maker, and authenticity. The use of “L.C. Tiffany Inc.” is consistent with Tiffany Studios production from the mid-1920s.
The bowl measures approximately 4¼ inches high by 12¼ inches in diameter (11 × 31 cm). It is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, and shows no chips, cracks, or repairs.
A highly collectible and functional example of Tiffany Studios Favrile glass, this “Leaf and Vine” flower bowl represents the enduring appeal of Tiffany’s nature...
