L.C.T. Tiffany Favrile Gold Iridescent Art Glass "Tadpoles" Goblet #8735
Consider product images as part of the description.
Antique iridescent glass goblet.
Made by Louis Comfort Tiffany, late 19th - early 20th century.
Measurements: 3 7/8 inches tall.
3 3/8 inches across the top.
Round base with a definite ridge on the bottom/underside perimeter.
Base slightly smaller than the bowl - almost like a cut-off cylinder with a very slight flare at the lip.
From various points about the 'equator' of the bowl, are applied glass tadpoles, set in a ring, some higher, some lower and tucked into the top of the neck so that you can almost feel the pressure of the glass-maker as he pushed in the tails.
Tadpoles look marvelous both from the outside and when seen from above on the inside.
The glass itself has a wonderful iridescence that changes color depending on the light.
In general, bright orangey gold predominates with swirls of pink and red, but the base has a definite swirl of silvery blue, repeated in the top of the neck.
(some photos show pink/red much deeper than reality).
Etched signature underneath L.
C.
T.
and number 8735.
Condition is very good.
No chips/cracks/damage of any sort.
