This is one of my favorite pieces! It is an authentic signed Tiffany favrile art glass decanter. It's in the beautiful iridescent gold color that Tiffany was so well known for. This decanter was made at the turn of the last century. It features the pinched sides that were popular at that time. Both the decanter and the matching stopper are in fabulous condition. The iridescence is magnificent. The bottom is well signed. I provided a photograph which may be hard to see due to the reflection. To own a piece of Tiffany art glass is owning a piece of history. He was the leader of his industry and his contemporaries such as Steuben, Handel & Quezal arrguably followed his lead. This decanter is heirloom quality. Guaranteed authentic. It would be a fine in addition for any serious arts glass collector!

ANTIQUE PAIRPOINT PUFFY ART GLASS LAMP
This antique art glass lamp is signed both on the original bronze base and the original shade by one of the most famous American lamp maker's of the early 20th century, "Pairpoint"! It was made by Pairpoint in the early 1900s. They were known for their fabulous hand painted art glass lamp shades after they merged with Mount Washington Glassworks in the late 1800s, in New Bedford, Massachusetts. This particular lamp shade measures approximately 14 inches in diameter. It has four large lobes with smaller rounded lobes within each. The original and rare tree trunk form base is stamped with the Pairpoint name and logo. It stands approximately 2 feet tall with the shade. This is a great size because it would fit really well in a living room, dining room or bedroom. This shade is expertly reverse painted with large flower heads and pretty leaves amidst overall decoration. It was definitely a luxury item for the rich at the time it was created. We have known and seen this lamp for years in a local home and have finally been able to acquire it! It is in very good condition with no cracks and no chips. Pairpoint lamps were contemporary to Tiffany lamps with their distinction being the famous puffy shades. This lamp is heirloom quality!
