Dating to approximately 1894, the vessel showcases the revolutionary 'Favrile' technique—a process that creates a deep, metallic iridescence within the glass itself rather than as a surface coating.

The vase features a dramatic, organic form with mesmerizing gold and amber tones that shift into peacock blues and purples depending on the light. The signature 'swirl' pattern is fluid and graceful, embodying the nature-inspired motifs that defined Tiffany’s career. In excellent original condition with its period-correct engraved signature on the base, this is a true blue-chip investment piece for the discerning collector of 19th-century decorative arts. See less
