For sale is a very Rare desk set item made by Tiffany Studios of New York. The Item is a "Magnifying Glass" and it is done in the "Pine Needle" desk set pattern. The patina on the metal is the most desirable Green/Brown. The stained glass is the green/white opalescent Favrile glass. The Magnifying Glass 1/2" tall, 8" long and has a diameter of 3 3/4" outside measurement. This Magnifying Glass displays an Acid Etched Pine Needle Overlay Pattern on Green/White Opalescent Glass in the Handle. The Glass inside of the handles is slightly slumped or curved. This is one the most desirable and Rarest of the Tiffany Pine Needle Desk set pieces to find. The Patina is extremely nice! The Magnifying Glass is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, or chips to any of the Glass. The only issue I can see is some cloudiness in the lower left corner of the lens. It appears that something was laid on the glass causing this cloudiness from rubbing against it or Glue residue. I'm sure this could be polished out. It can only be seen when held at an angle to the light. The metal face surrounding the Glass has a few very tiny indents to the metal. This is all considered minor and does not take away value from the piece. The Magnifying Glass is signed on the bottom underside ring next to where the handle is attached. It is signed with the "Tiffany Studios" impressed mark along one side and the pattern number "903" on the other side. This is a an extremely nice Magnifying Glass in excellent condition. When these are found there is usually some kind of damage to the glass or the Lens Holder that holds the Glass. Since the glass was curved in these handles when the Glass was dropped it was common for the glass inside to develop a stress crack. I am very happy to report that this one has No Cracked Glass!! I believe the Pine Needle Pattern to have been the first of the Fancy Goods Product lines made at Tiffany Studios. Those of you who are looking for an excellent example of the Magnifying Glass in the Pine Needle Pattern will be delighted with their purchase. Tiffany Studios assigned a number to their desk set pieces after 1902. Up until then they were only Signed "Tiffany Studios" or "Tiffany Studios New York". This piece was made, circa 1902-1920.   « Less

For sale is a wonderful piece of Art Glass blown by The Steuben Glass Company of Corning, New York. The item is a Compote or Center Piece Footed Bowl with Rings. The Compote is blown in Frederick Carder's very desirable Topaz Art Glass. The Compote has some size to it as it stands 6 3/4" tall and is 8" in diameter. The foot has a diameter of 4". The Vase displays a very beautiful Topaz or Amber colored Body, Stem and Foot. The looped applied handles on each side is also done in this beautiful Topaz color. The Rings that are locked inside these loops are done in a Rope Design but they are clear crystal. The Bowl is a very complicated shape and has several interesting parts that comprise it. It first starts with a round raised foot that has a folded edge underneath. It then has a deep Topaz washer shaped knuckle with a Squat circular closed break that is hollow inside. It then has another deep Topaz knuckle that has a top and bottom side on top of that. The Body of the Compote or Bowl is attached to this knuckle. Then the piece takes on interesting handles. These handles are Looped on 2 sides and fused to the bowl. To finish this off Steuben locked in Clear Crystal Twisted Rope Style rings inside. This is very difficult to do and clearly shows the Glass Blowing skills of Steuben's Master Glass Blowers. I see at least 9 steps in just forming this glass vessel without counting the mixing of the Sand and Chemicals to comprise the Topaz Color. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. I cannot even see scratches along the underside bottom edge and this leads me to believe that this was a cabinet piece and was rarely used. The Compote is not signed and more than likely had a Paper Label that simply fell off after time. This was a tough Shape to find documented sales on. I did find a Selenium Red and an Orange Cintra one. They both sold a few years back and they both sold for $1600 plus the Buyers Premium of 20%. I do not feel that the Topaz is worth what the Selenium Red and Cintra pieces are worth. http://www.cardersteubenclub.org/shapes/item-view.cfm?category=ShapeIndex&recordID=25483&back=1 Click on this highlighted link to access this shape in the Steuben Gallery of Shapes on-line This a very nice example and I'm quite sure the buyer will be quite pleased with their purchase. This is known as shape number 2942 in the Steuben Catalog pages. This piece was made during the Frederick Carder Years, Circa 1910-1932.   « Less
