This book sets out to re-evaluate Tiffany's art in terms of his personal work 'including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career: stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his doomed but inspiring dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. The author also provides much intimate insight into Tiffany's personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art.' This book is comprehensive, wonderfully illustrated, and richly written. The book covers by chapter; Years of Purpose; What Was Louis Comfort Tiffany Really Like; The Forgotten Paintings; A New Kind of Glass; From Sheets of Glass to Windows; The Windows; We Are Going After the Money There is in Art; Tiffany Mosaics; Blown Glass; Art Guarded by the dead; Lamps; Pottery; Buttons, Blotters, et Cetera, et Cetera, With Style; Enamels; Jewelry Little Missionaries of Art; Photographs; Hail to Thee, Great Ones; My Dearest Wish; Epilogue; Appendix A The Old Plates; Appendix B The Marks; Bibliography; and Index.

THE ART OF TIFFANY by Vivienne Couldrey, Quantum Books, London, 1989/2005. This comprehensive book traces Tiffany's rise to fame, the falling off of his artistic reputation, and the rebirth of admiration for Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the famous New York jeweler. Of him, the author writes: 'the son became the foremost American exponent of Art Nouveau. Interior decorator and architect, painter in oil and watercolor, designer, jeweler and above all, creator of the richly glowing iridescent glass which is indelibly associated with his name, Tiffany was the leader of American taste in art and decoration for 40 years. Always experimenting, never limiting his curiosity as an artist, Tiffany's prodigious energy and creativity found form in stained glass, mosaic, pottery, enamels, tapestries, jewelry, furniture, landscape and house design". It was only the 1950's that a new interest in Tiffany glass began to emerge: today his work commands fabulous prices and his name once more is synonymous with glamour and luxury, beauty and color. The dramatic story of his rise and fall is that of a man convinced of his own genius, adventurous and talented enough to be unorthodox, feted, ignored and finally vindicated by time. Superb full-color illustrations reveal the full range of Tiffany's genius as a colorist, artist, designer and craftsman.' We also stock books on such makers as Steuben, Durand, and others.

With over 350 illustrations, many in full color, this book is an authoritative text covering the life and works of Louis Comfort Tiffany. LOUIS C. TIFFANY – REBEL IN GLASS by Robert Koch, Crown Publishers Inc. 1964/1972. 'This profusely illustrated biography by a Tiffany collector and expert on Art Nouveau and the "stained glass decades" presents in all its varied aspects the remarkable career of a versatile nonconformist, whose unique designs in glass made his name a byword at the turn of the century, yet whose work, only a generation later, was derided – and revived – when collectors of art glass and modern decorators were increasingly intrigued by his free forms and bold, metallic colors.' Pictured in color and black and white are many biographical photos of Tiffany, and examples of his creations which spanned from architectural design and interior decorating (including wall papers and stained glass windows) to the delicate accessories of art glass, art pottery, stained glass lamps and more. Numerous pieces of Tiffany glass and other objects of art are pictured in color and black-and-white with in-depth captions. Illustrations include stained glass lamps and windows, iridescent favrile glass, lava and diatreta glass, colored and opalescent glass, stunning decorated glass items, and many other types of glassware. Also included are Tiffany pottery and metalware items, and more. This comprehensive text is considered one of the leading authoritative references on Tiffany – his life and his work.

1046 Tiffany paper label on gold FABRILE iridescent ribbed vase of this wonderful paperweight vase insert. 4 7/8"H, 2 3/8"D rim, 1 7/8"D body. $750.  874. Rare and beautiful. This is Trevaise glass produced by the Alton Manufacturing Co in Sandwich, Ma. c.1907. I was told it was unsigned Quezal by a respected glass dealer but I bought it as Trevaise glass. The key difference in my opinion is the characteristic irregular bulge on one side of the vase center, which is so typical of all the Trevaise glass I have seen. This company used glass gaffers from the Tiffany Co just as Quezal did, but operated for only 1 year. This vase measures 12.75 inches H, 5.25 inches D at center, 3 5/8 inches D opening, and 4.25 inches D base. This piece has 2 distinct horizontal lines near the base, which I have tried to photograph. These were probably caused by a minute stand of something on the glass in the manufacture. $2500 akeslingerantiques.com for fine artglass  812. *"Baume & Mercer [Geneve]" manufactured this 17-jewel 14K gold watch for "Tiffany & Co."
