Rare Tiffany Studios Pine Needle Paperweight, 936, in Exceptional Condition with bronze, and green and white Slag Glass (no cracks)

This Tiffany Studios Paperweight is a unique and engaging piece. A century ago, when open windows and fans were far more common, paperweights were used to keep papers from blowing around. So Tiffany Studios made paperweights to match their various desk sets. Though this one is in the Pine Needle design, Tiffany often intermixed the pieces of the two patterns — Pine Needle and Grapevine — that made up the “Etched Metal and Glass” sets, so it can easily go with either.

Pattern: Pine Needle

Approximate Dimensions: 3.5″ wide x 1″ tall

Marks: Stamped “Tiffany Studios New York 936”

There is no such thing as “perfect condition” for a 100-year-old piece, but this one is close. There are no cracks to the glass, and as you can see from the pictures there is only gentle rubbing on the bottom. This is a fine example of Tiffany Studios in a durable form.

An easy piece to put on a desk or in a display, it is a conversation started that shows well and highlights how work was done in early American offices. It can be placed flat or on a small plate stand.

This is one that already has a lot of watchers, so don’t let it get away.
