L.C. Tiffany Art Nouveau Glass Favrile Compote
About the Item
“Favrile glass is distinguished by brilliant or deeply toned colors, usually iridescent like the wings of certain American butterflies, the necks of pigeons and peacocks, the wing covers of various beetles… Rich tones are due in part to the use of pot metal full of impurities, and in part to the uneven thickness of the glass, but still more because the glass maker of that day abstained from the use of paint.”
Inspired by glassmaking techniques of ancient Rome and Syria, Tiffany created an aesthetic that redefined American art glass. Due to the high standard of craftsmanship in his factory and to the immense demand for Favrile pieces, Tiffany’s name became synonymous with top quality American glass of the early 20th century, as well as with fine American Art Nouveau. The Tiffany Company remained active until 1932. This particular piece, a radiant example of Favrile at its finest, is in exquisite condition. While the opalescent nature of the glass makes its color difficult to classify, the most pronounced tones fall in the realm of gold, accentuated by notes of blue, green, orange, and pink. Light and delicate, this compote is as perfect and vibrant as it was on the day it was signed “L.C. Tiffany”.
Color: Iridescent, primarily gold with hints of blue, purple, and green.
Signed on Bottom: “1592 - 1449 K L.C. Tiffany Favrile”
