Tiffany Studios desk thermometer with green slag glass.  More photos in my store.

Though the stand works smoothly and has no bends, and the mercury is intact and it still tells temperature, the backing glass has a number of cracks. It has been repaired such that all the glass is securely in place.

I’ve long been interested in getting my hands on one of these antique, expandable bookends from Tiffany Studios. I was curious to see how it actually expanded and the sides folded up.  See more pictures at my online store.

This one moves smoothly and is functionally sound though there is some looseness in the lower corners of the side panels.

The Favrile glass in the end panels of this one are unusually white. 

I get asked alot about the glass in the ends because it is uncommon. But it is not uneard of. In fact, I recently saw another example on line of this white-ish-with-a-blue-tint type of glass:

You don’t come across this every day: A lot of 3 matching Tiffany Studios desk pieces from the Pine Needle pattern with no cracks to the glass! This lot of three is priced to move. This may not be a once in a lifetime deal, but probably once in a decade. Make this Tiffany Studios collection yours or wish you had.

This is a unique acquisition. The three-tier letter rack, in particular, is special. It is big! I took high-resolution photos in both natural light and under white light, and a couple that are backlit so you get a better sense of the coloring which can vary depending on light color and direction. And it is BIG — see below.

All are clearly stamped and numbered.

The pen wipe is also in excellent condition, and it still has its original brush — which is very rare.

All items are clearly stamped with “Tiffany Studios New York” or “Tiffany Stvdios New York” followed by the 3- or 4-digit model designator. Below I detail each piece by its model number, its approximate dimensions. 

·       1007: Three-tier letter rack (12 5/8″ w x 3 5/8″ d x 8 5/8″ h): This is a large and rare piece. There are no cracks in the glass. It is extremely unusual to find this item without cracks.

·       1004: Pen tray (9 5/8″ w x 2 3/4″ d x 3/4″ h): This piece has really nice coloring of the glass. See the photo of the back.

·       981: Pen brush (2 1/4″dia x 1 3/4″h): No damage. This one includes the brush, which is rare, and it is very clean piece.

See more photos at my store. I’ve also added about ten other pieces recently, so check them out before they get away.

This is an antique (about 100 years old) Tiffany Studios “pen wipe”. Originallyit came with a small brush that a writer could use to clean the tip of theirwriting pen. It can also be used a unique small holder.

Pattern: Tiffany Studios Pine Needle

Approximate Dimensions: 1.5″ Tall x 2.25″ Diameter

Marks: Tiffany Studios New York 981 (see photo)

This gorgeous piece is in excellent condition. There are no cracks in the glass. No damage and no repairs. As you can see by the pictures, it is extremely clean and shows well.

This is a sturdy and solid piece that will hold up well to handling and would be an engaging addition to a collection or as a stand-alone piece in a display. It is very bright and shiny.

This is an acid-etched Tiffany Studios bronze base for a vase. It is a standalone piece without the glass vase or insert. The tongs that hold a vase in place are in excellent condition, and the bottom is clearly stamped. This design is sometimes called “pineapple” or “pine cone” due to the stem’s texture.

What makes this piece unique? Notably, while most pieces of Tiffany Studios are spelled with a “u”, this piece shows a “v” which generally implies an older piece. Also note that as shown in the pictures, this piece has been monogrammed.

Pattern: Tiffany Stvdios bronze dore vase base 1043

Approximate Dimensions: 5″ x 5

Marks: Tiffany Stvdios New York 1043.

This is another display of Tiffany Studios’ craftsmanship. This example is in excellent condition and shows off well the acid etching. If the tongs on your base have broken off, or if you want the more distinct “Stvdios” version for the vase, or if you are just waiting for a vase to show up and will need a base, this is your piece. And if your initials don’t match the monogram…just rotate those so they face the wall. This is a nice piece that will display well when matched to the right vase, Tiffany or otherwise. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to

Here is a Tiffany Studios Venetian pattern inkwell on the pen tray with exquisite detail. In Holland’s authoritative book on Tiffany Desksets, he considers this a “3” for rarity on a scale of 1 to 7 (1 is less rare, 7 is extremely hard to find) (Tiffany Desk Sets, Holland, pg 115)

Pattern: Tiffany Studios Venetian 1669

Approximate Dimensions: The tray is 9.5″ square and about .5″ tall. The inkwell itself (which is detachable) is 4″ x 4″ x 4″

Marks: Tiffany Studios New York 1669

This is a fine example of the detailed and symmetrical Venetian pattern, and the acid-etched finish Tiffany often used. The glass insert has several chips around the top, and there is a ding in the cup that holds the glass insert (see photos). Otherwise, it is in exceptional condition. The hinge works perfectly. All around a very nice piece that shows well.

This is a sturdy and solid piece that will hold up well to handling and would be an engaging addition to a collection or as a stand-alone piece in a display.

Every now and then you come across one of those “Wow!” pieces.

This is one of them. This is a Tiffany Studios Large Handkerchief box in the Grapevine pattern. Note that it has four rows of beading, and the variegated green and white glass even has a distinctive streak of blue. I’ve actually been holding on to this one because I’m reluctant to let it go. Frankly, it is not only in stunningly good condition, it is also uniquely clean.

Pattern: Grapevine

Approximate Dimensions: 8″ x 8″ x 2.75″

Marks: Stamped Tiffany Studios New York 824

This piece is really in amazingly good shape. It is clearly stamped, “Tiffany Studios New York” and item number stamped clearly as well: 824. All the glass is perfectly intact, the feet are present, and the hinge works smoothly. The Tiffany slag glass is a gorgeous green with streaks of white, and the bronze is a perfect patina. It must have been stored in a container because there is almost no dust. My mother was an antique dealer when I was a kid, which started my interest in Tiffany. So I have seen many pieces from Tiffany Studios, Tiffany Furnaces and Tiffany Favrile glass, but I have only seen a few pieces as fine as this one. Contact me if you would like to see additional pictures to include from any other angle you desire.

If you really want a distinctive and distinguished piece that is beautifully crafted and presents exceptionally well, this is the one. Antique Tiffany is also a compelling investment. See more pictures of my inventory of Tiffany here in my store.

Buy it before I decide to keep it, and it is only available to a loving home that will cherish it! And set aside some time to unwrap it — it will be well secured with foam, bubble wrap and will be double boxed. You will have to sign for it.

Finding Tiffany Zodiac Inkwells is not that hard to do. But it is hard to find the acid-etched version of the Zodiac pattern with enamel details in such good condition.

Pattern: Tiffany Studios Zodiac 842

Approximate Dimensions: 4.25″ x 4.25″ x 2.25″

Marks: The stamp on this one is very faint. The 42 of the 842 model number is clear. After adjusting the lighting and filters on my camera, you can see “New York”. Where you would normally see “Tiffany Studios” above “New York”, though you can see an imprint, due to the light strike and acid-etching no characters are legible. Here is another view in addition to those posted to my Tiffany Studios store:

Stamped: New York 842

This is a fine example of the Zodiac pattern, and the acid-etched finish Tiffany often used. The glass insert is in perfect condition as is the hinge.

All around a very nice piece that shows well. This is a sturdy and solid piece that will hold up well to handling and would be an engaging addition to a collection or as a stand-alone piece in a display.

Tiffany glass history includes a very rich variety of items, including these gems. These are a pair of small Tiffany Favrile Cordial glasses.

Approximate Dimensions: 4.65″ and 1.5″

Marks: Each base is etched “L. C. T.”

As you can see in the pictures, the fine glasses are signed “L C T” and have that Tiffany iridescent, gold-ish, coloring. Each has a “dimple” at the bottom of the bowl that was part of the design though difficult to see in a photo. They are in excellent condition, but please note that as hand-crafted and blown glass there are visible imperfections that add to the authenticity and allure of this remarkable find.

Imagine a fully decorated table with the light catching these prize antiques, or imagine them as that perfect, one-of-a-kind wedding gift or anniversary gift to celebrate an enduring bond.

To see pictures of this pair of glasses, see them in my store.

Beautiful Tiffany Studios inkwell. This is the vintage Tiffany Studios Grapevine pattern which was part of the Etched Metal & Glass family of Tiffany desk sets.

One hundred years ago, most writing was done at a desk on top of a writing surface which had ornamental sides. Tiffany Studios made these blotter sides to match their various desk sets., which could be either Pine Needle or Grapevine.

Pattern: Tiffany Studios Pine Needle

Approximate Dimensions: 12″ long

Marks: Stamped “Tiffany Studios New York 998” (Both sides)

These Tiffany blotter ends are a rich patina in the Pine Needle design, and will nicely complement any Pine Needle or Grapevine desk set from the “Etched Metal and Glass” Tiffany desk sets.
