Description
Tiffany Studios / Tiffany Glass & Decorating Co.
rare inkwell, #505Z
New York, New York, circa 1902
bronze, Favrile glass
stamped and incised marks
5"dia x 5 3/4"h
Catalog Note:
This spherical form, reminiscent of a diver helmet, was undoubtedly part of Tiffany's "Fancy Goods" line. The body is set with Favrile cabochons throughout. The hinged door, with a ring handle, opens to reveal a gimbal-like mechanism supporting the inkwell. The whole is further raised on an undulating lily pad style base. This is the only example of this particular form we have ever seen.
