For Auction I have a very nice Art Glass Plate made by Tiffany Studios, New York. This is one of the Rarest Tiffany Plates I have ever purchased. The Plate measures 1/2" Tall and is 7" in diameter. This would be considered a Luncheon Plate. This Plate displays a beautiful Gold Favrile Border with Green Favrile Band that is about 5/16" thick. This band is further accented with Gold Favrile inner Border. This decoration is on a base glass that is a white or calcite in color. On the interior of the plate it looks more Yellow because of the Gold Favrile fuming. The white picked it up and gives this more of a Custard Color. The underside shows the calcite white. The Plate is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. It has a very large counter sunk polished Pontil. The sign of a quality piece of Art Glass. The Plate is properly signed with Tiffany's Etched counter clockwise signature mark. Its is written in script "X299 L.C. Tiffany-Favrile". Tiffany marked most of his Favrile pieces with either a Prefix or Suffix Letter and a number. This helped in determining the year of manufacture. The only time Tiffany used the letter "X" was for "Experimental" pieces such as this one. I can only guess by the low number following the "X" that this is a very early piece. This Plate was made circa 1895-1900.   « Less

USA Circa 1991 A rare and important painting by Anatoly Belkin. This work is signed with his monogram and dated 91. Translating the painting, yielded an interesting work. Tea is Good. Vladimir Mayakovsky. Unjust. Here is how I see it. The painting is filled with Russian words. After a bit of research we've uncovered a lot about the artist and the painting. The painting does depict a samovar and tea is a very popular drink in Russia. There is also a lot more going on in the painting. The top word does read Tea and then is Very Good. The rest of the words have a real political meaning. The name at the top is Vladimir Mayakovsky. He lived from 1883 to 1930 and was an important figure in Russian poetry. His life and works are filled with controversy, triumph and tragedy. And, about that newspaper. PRAVDA is quite recognizable. What is less recognizable is the play on words. By adding a couple letters before and after the word for Pravda, Mr. Belkin has transformed the word for truth to the word for Injustice. Just next to the word Pravda, are the words Workers of the World Unite. Mr. Belkin was born in 1953 in Moscow, Russia. He studied, lives and works in Leningrad, St. Petersburg. His artistic education included studies at I. E. Repin Institute of Painting (1963-1970) and at I. E. Repin Institute (1970-1972). Being one of the youngest representatives of nonconformist movement, he participated in the majority of exhibitions of "informal" artists. His first personal exhibition took place at Dzerzhinsky Culture Club (1977). Since 1976 his works have been included in foreign expositions of "resistant" art in New York, Sent-Luis, Washington, San Francisco, Bochum, Paris, Mongeron and other cities. Mr. Belkin is a member of the St. Petersburg Organization of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia. He is also the founder and the editor of the magazines "Sobaka.ru " (2000), and "Veshch.doc" (2005). Mr. Belkin continues to paint.   « Less
