ALL LOOKERSFAVRILE CONSOLE BOWL AND FROG c1900by L.C. TIFFANYIRIDESCENT GOLD WITH HINTS OF BLUEI'm offering for your bidding consideration a simply wonderful Favrile centerpiece bowl together with it's matching flower frog.  This is a consignment sale from the estate of an extremely "well off" Eastern Oklahoma Oil Tycoon.  I've been told that the pieces were purchased as a set and that the bowl and frog were most likely produced somewhere in the 1890 - 1910 time frame.MAKER'S MARKS - see photos -The bottom outside rim of the console bowl is appropriately etched in script "L. C. T. Favrile".  On the center of the bowl's bottom is the number "11535".The bottom of the flower frog contains markings that make it extremely rare: "#2" is etched in a small glass area free of the blue iridescence.  The bottom also has etched in hand script "L. C. Tiffany - Favrile".  The etching of "Inc" is very uniquely placed, almost as though it was an afterthought.  This is MOST UNUSUAL.SIZEThis is the largest console bowl that I've ever seen on ebay.  Since all were handmade, differences were expected.  The bowl has a 9.5 inch diameter, a circumference of 32 inches and a height of 3.75 inches. The frog stands 3.75 inches in height, a circumference of 15 inches a diameter of 4.25 inches at it's base.CONDITIONThere are no chips, cracks or signs of any type of repair on either piece.  As may be seen in the photo of the frog's underside, a small deposit of an unknown material became part of the glass sometime during the glass blowing process.Picture this wonderful console as the floral centerpiece in your home ... You can't help but smile.  Use the buy-it-now feature and that smile can be shared with your Special Someone on Christmas morning.  I wish to extend my wishes for a joyous season for you and your family.
