LCT TIFFANY FAVRILE, ONYX OPALESCENT, VERTICAL RIBBING VASE, NICE UNIQUE FORM~~~

Description

For auction is very lovely piece of art glass made by Tiffany Studios, New York. The item is known as a "Onyx Opalescent Vase”. It is done in Tiffany's early Favrile opalescent glass. This vase is a nice size as it stands 4" tall and the top opening has a diameter of 4 1/2" outside measurements. The foot has a diameter of 2 1/4".
The vase displays a translucent onyx style of art glass with swirls and vertical ribbing. This vase has a very deep well that is 3 5/8" deep. The vertical ribbing comes out of the bottom of the vase and rises up to the top lip at a slight angle. At the shoulder of the vessel is a raised bulge that circles the entire piece. The vase is very delicate as it has very thin glass. This onyx style glass with its swirls has a very pleasing effect when the light comes through it. The lower section has a translucent green and the upper section having an opalescence effect to it. You can clearly see the ribbing as well as feel it. The bottom of the vase shows an amber/brown color in the center pontil area.
This vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips or dings. Truly a very excellent example of this form and color. The vase is properly signed with the counter clockwise etched number that reads "2303" in the counter sunk polished pontil. This is how Tiffany marked his early glass in the beginning years. It is documented that he numbered his pieces up to 9999  and stopped blowing for that year once it hit 10,000. This 4 digit number helps me date this piece to have been made circa 1892-1893. These were the very beginning years of his glass blowing.
This is a quality piece of art glass made by Tiffany Studios, New York. Those of you who want an nice early original piece of Tiffany Favrile from the earliest time period need to look no further.
I'm quite sure the buyer will be delighted with their purchase.
PLEASE READ BELOW
I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of this year 2020.
I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments
. Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the
merchandise
unless it is paid for.
They are also n
ow charging all sellers a commission of 11.7% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.7%. This is an increase of 8.8% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.7% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges.
If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
