Mr. Chassen – I am trying to help a customer sell a Tiffany Studios desk set “Zodiac “pattern. I have done some research – it is in excellent condition – with the gold dore finish. It includes – large desk blotter frame, mini box, letter opener, covered desk pad with original paper, desk calender frame with orig inserts, inkwell and 3 section letter holder.
She is downsizing – this was in her fathers office as long as she can recall. We specialize in jewelry -but as a courtesy – I am just trying to find the best way for her to sell it. Your articles seemed the most knowledgeable and professional on the subject. I can send photos also.
We are located in Bryn Mawr just outside of Phildelphia, PA
Please advise, many thanks

Comment on Pate-de-verre French glass by A. Walter and Argy-Rousseau by Philip Chasen

This comment is really humorous. I wrote a lesson telling everyone that the correct pronunciation is “pot”, not pah-tay, and “C” thinks he knows better. The word is pâte, not paté, and it’s pronounced “pot”. Paté is for goose liver and this is glass.

Comment on More information on how to spot reproduction Galle vases by Philip Chasen

Sorry, but I don’t deal in reproduction glass, so I’m unfamiliar with where to purchase it. I suggest searching on the Internet and perhaps eBay for sellers.

I have what I thought was an original Galle lamp ( both the rounded top and separate base are a beautiful amber (rust on yellow ) which my super broke while moving it.
I have since been told it was a very good reproduction. Is it possible to find another one like it. If the reproduction looked as good, where might I find another and what would the value be? How much could it take to replace it?

Thanks for the information on authenticating etchings. I have some items that appear to be etchings. They have the plate marks and there are no dots on them. They are also signed by Guido Gruenwald in pencil. Some have HCG with a circle around the C and it is located in the lower right or left corner of the etching. Can you tell me what the HCG means? Any information you can give me would be appreciated.

Authentic Tiffany lamps are usually signed on the inside lower rim of the shade and also on the underside of the base.
