How do I tell if a vase is a Tiffany vase?

There are a few ways to initially check if a vase is a Tiffany vase. Check the base of a vase for a mark or initials from the maker.

To be sure if a vase is a Tiffany vase, it is best to have a professional evaluate it. Shop a range of expertly vetted Tiffany vases on 1stDibs.
