Antique Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc Favrile bronze and enamel tray. Made first quarter of the 20th century. 12 inches in diameter. 3/4 inch high. Weighs 1118grams (heavy, as expected from bronze). Round tray. Back and shoulders are smoothe, but the center has an ''orange peel'' texture, catching the light and almost iridising with the aged patina, while softening into darkness where age has left it''s mark on the lower portions. The outer band of the rim is also textured, wider and rougher than the orange peel and it is surrounded by a fabulous ring of enamel little raised cells - reminiscent of both cloisonne enamel and Tiffany glass tiles. There are segments with gradaded patterns of turquoise background with orange diamond shapes, alternating with rough squares in a variety of shades of glass-like enamel - from citrine through a range of greens to deep forest. The back of the tray has the TIFFANY FAVRILE scrolling mark with LOUIS C. TIFFANY FURNACES INC. 304. Good, original condition. No dings/dents.
