This small, tapered square piece of pottery is a Louis Comfort Tiffany Favrile vase. It features the artist’s incised, conjoined LCT monogram signature on the underside. Most of Tiffany’s vases are less than 8” tall, making the small stature of this vase typical of his output. This vase is also typical of the earliest glazes favored by the artist—antique ivory or mossy green. The design with winged insects is in keeping with Tiffany’s preference for natural forms; his favored motifs were plants, flowers and other vegetative matter. Tiffany began to explore pottery manufacture around 1898 and publicly unveiled his new line at the landmark store on 5th Avenue in 1904. Only about 1,500 Favrile pottery pieces were ever made at the Tiffany Furnaces in Queens, New York from 1903 through about 1917.
