For sale is a Desk Set Item made by Tiffany Studios, New York. The Item for Sale is a pair of "Blotter Ends" and it is done in Tiffany's "Zodiac" Desk Set Pattern. The Blotter Ends measures 19 1/4" long and is 2". They are low profile as they only stand 1/2" tall. The Blotter Ends have the very desirable Acid Etched Gold (Dore') small flake Patina. This is one of the most Popular Patinas in this Desk Set Pattern. This Desk set Item displays the 12 different zodiac signs on each blotter end as each one has 6 on each blotter end. These Blotters ends are quite heavy as they are solid brass with a patina. These Blotter Ends are considered to be in excellent condition as there are no dents, or dings. These 2 pieces show minimal signs of wear from use. The Gold Patina on the underside is much brighter than the top side. They have naturally darkened over time and shows they age. When they were made they looked more like the underside in color. The Blotter ends are both signed on the bottom with "Tiffany Studios New York" Impressed Mark along with the Pattern Number 988 for the Blotter Ends Number in this desk set. There is also an illegible number scratched just below one of the impressed numbers. This was more than likely an order number. Tiffany started using a 3 digit number for his Fancy Desk Set goods after 1902 subsequently these was made early circa 1902-1910. This is a quality item in the Tiffany Desk Set Items. I'm Sure the Lucky Buyer will be delighted with their purchase   « Less

For sale is a very Rare desk set item made by Tiffany Studios of New York. The Item is a "Magnifying Glass" and it is done in the "Pine Needle" desk set pattern. The patina on the metal is the most desirable Green/Brown. The stained glass is the green/white opalescent Favrile glass. The Magnifying Glass 1/2" tall, 8" long and has a diameter of 3 3/4" outside measurement. This Magnifying Glass displays an Acid Etched Pine Needle Overlay Pattern on Green/White Opalescent Glass in the Handle. The Glass inside of the handles is slightly slumped or curved. This is one the most desirable and Rarest of the Tiffany Pine Needle Desk set pieces to find. The Patina is extremely nice! The Magnifying Glass is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, or chips to any of the Glass. The only issue I can see is some cloudiness in the lower left corner of the lens. It appears that something was laid on the glass causing this cloudiness from rubbing against it or Glue residue. I'm sure this could be polished out. It can only be seen when held at an angle to the light. The metal face surrounding the Glass has a few very tiny indents to the metal. This is all considered minor and does not take away value from the piece. The Magnifying Glass is signed on the bottom underside ring next to where the handle is attached. It is signed with the "Tiffany Studios" impressed mark along one side and the pattern number "903" on the other side. This is a an extremely nice Magnifying Glass in excellent condition. When these are found there is usually some kind of damage to the glass or the Lens Holder that holds the Glass. Since the glass was curved in these handles when the Glass was dropped it was common for the glass inside to develop a stress crack. I am very happy to report that this one has No Cracked Glass!! I believe the Pine Needle Pattern to have been the first of the Fancy Goods Product lines made at Tiffany Studios. Those of you who are looking for an excellent example of the Magnifying Glass in the Pine Needle Pattern will be delighted with their purchase. Tiffany Studios assigned a number to their desk set pieces after 1902. Up until then they were only Signed "Tiffany Studios" or "Tiffany Studios New York". This piece was made, circa 1902-1920.   « Less

For sale is one of the Rarest of the desk set items to be found and it is made by Tiffany Studios of New York. The Item is a "Postage Scale" and it is done in the "Pine Needle" desk set pattern. The patina on the metal is the most desirable Green/Brown. The stained glass is the green/white opalescent Favrile glass. The Postage Scale stands 3 3/8" tall, 1 3/4" wide and 2 7/8" deep. The round platform on the top is 1 7/8" in diameter. This Postage Scale displays an Acid Etched Pine Needle Overlay Pattern on Green/White Opalescent Glass surrounding three sides of the Scale. The left, right and back. The Top round disk that held the letter even has this acid etched pattern as well as the top plate of the scale underneath that. The Front has a Postage Scale label with its weight measures and rates in the front. It is marked Crescent Postal Scale and has a date of January 31st 1899 in the lower right hand corner. There is some earlier dates to the left but this is the latest one. The mechanism was made by Crescent but the Acid Etched Metal Pattern and Glass along with the Patina was done by Tiffany Studios. This is one the hardest items to find in the Pine Needle desk set items along with the Magnifying Glass I just listed. This also happens to be one the most desirable and Rarest of the Tiffany Pine Needle Desk set pieces to acquire. The Patina is very good but does show signs of wear! The Postage Scale is considered to be in very good condition as there are no cracks, nicks, or chips to any of the Glass. The only issues is a few dings in the metal. I can see one one on the back and lower front platform. The round letter disk holder is slightly bent and the underside bottom has a few dings. I'm quite sure this was from dropping it. It is amazing that none of the glass ever broke. This is all considered minor and does not take away from the piece. The Postage Scale is signed on the bottom underside with the "Tiffany Studios New York" impressed mark. There is No Pattern number impressed into the metal. This is a an extremely nice Postage Scale in very good condition. When these are found there is usually some kind of damage to the glass. Since there is glass all around the body of the scale and when these were dropped it was common for the glass inside to develop a stress crack. I am very happy to report that this one has No Cracked Glass!! I believe the Pine Needle Pattern to have been the first of the Fancy Goods Product lines made at Tiffany Studios. Those of you who are looking for an excellent example of the Postage Scale in the Pine Needle Pattern will be delighted with their purchase. Tiffany Studios assigned a pattern number to their desk set pieces after 1902. Up until then they were only Signed "Tiffany Studios" or "Tiffany Studios New York" like this one. This piece was made early in the fancy goods line. It was made, circa 1899-1902.   « Less
