From my personal long time collection I am offering a rare early, incised on the bottom: "W.Moorcroft, Tiffany & Company, New York," 12" tall and 9" diameter, vase in a Ruby Lustre Glaze. Seldom do you ever see a more beautiful vase then this one and in a rare Iris pattern. The surface is decorated with 6 tube lined Iris flowers in full bloom. Virtually no crazing you need a 10 power magnifying glass to see some small areas. No repairs, there is a 5/16" X 3/16" glaze fleck at the very bottom edge, (pictured) I will repeat not a chip, "a glaze fleck." An example of the Iris pattern is pictured in the Paul Atterbury book,"Moorcroft A Guide To Moorcroft Pottery 1897 - 1993," on page 60. A real treasure to have, this vase has it all, shape, form, colors, delicate tube lining and condition.
