L C Tiffany Favrile art glass footed bowl

Tiffany Favrile hand blown Art Glass footed bowl. Number 1848. Louis Comfort Tiffany was born in 1848 and died in 1933. He was the son of Charles L. Tiffany, founder of world-famous Tiffany & Company in New York City. Louis established his decorative arts business in 1885. He began with glass-blowing, and evolved into leaded glass and metal work. He tradmarked the made-up word Favrile in 1894, and began marking his creations L. C. Tiffany Favrile or L. C. T. Favrile, accompanied by a studio number. His beautiful iridescent glass was meant to imitate the forms and appearance of ancient Roman glass. This iridescent glass compote was made between 1894 and 1920. Measures 8.25 inches by 3.75 inches.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
