      ​@@jimsmith7326 Mmmm to each their own. Even before COVID people were suffering and people always were very disgruntled at art in general. I don't think today is any exception. But I do understand where you're coming from. It's a bit infuriating when millions are struggling and there are pieces of art that could pay off mortgages, where is the fairness in that right? But we also have to consider that these pieces are valued so highly because of their rarity, so it's not like many people are walking away like bandits with millions. It's just a select few (and that's even if they're actually selling).

Just like another clip where the older gentleman was appraising stone lion figurines from China and was so filled with awe that his voice broke.

Tiffany started as stained glass art (art major) and look what a name it has become! Compare all the famous artists through history, and not many people have heard of them, whereas everyone has heard of Tiffany,

    That’s amazing. My only dealing with Tiffany was about 20 years ago whilst shopping in New York. I came across a lighting shop as they had a Tiffany lamp In the window. When I looked at about 50 other lamps, I said which are original Tiffany lamp. “They all are “I was informed. “Are you interested to buy I was asked, no I replied, they are outside my price range ! Well I will sell you an original Tiffany piece today, she said.
    I was then taken downstairs, where several pieces of glass were placed on a table. “These are the last pieces of glass from the Tiffany kiln from the factory before it closed,I was told. How much are they I asked, $50 each,great I will have one please. There you are the lady replied, you own a piece of Tiffany history.

      Actually items like this would be at their cheapest in the depression because the number of people that could casually buy it plummeted. Just like in a housing bubble a multi-million dollar home is worth in hundred-thousands after the bubble bursts simply because the seller wants to get rid of it to anyone that could buy it.
      Of course cheap for rich people is still to rich for a normal person.

      My girlfriend just did the same thing. She found a depression-glass bowl of some kind, bought it, and in the car told me its name (don't remember what it was called, I wasn't listening lol). But she mentioned depression glass often faded, because people would wash it in the dish washer. Inside the bowl, the colors were a little faded, but that was because it was hand-wash from use. I asked if it was ruined, and she said "Compared to how most of this type of glass usually looks, this is considered in very good condition, just short of perfect."
      I think she said she could make $200-$300 on the bowl if sold online. She bought it for $4 at a Goodwill. Guarantee you that's a situation where some grandkids emptied out grandma's stuff and just tossed them towards Goodwill. We were very lucky.

      id say, keep the basic vase, its not hugely valuable but it's beautiful, and you know basically what its worth. The expensive vase, which is much more valuable but kinda ugly, sell that and get some money. I don't know if a museum would want just that box, I personally would sell it cheap to a collector that would like something like that. Sell the expensive vase, sell the box cheap to someone, and keep the cheaper vase because of its lack of huge value, and its just a nice looking vase for any area.

    People in the comments on these videos always say to sell these things and enjoy the cash-but money isn’t everything. Yeah, you could have 100k, but you will never get another Tiffany vase of such rarity, and you can’t replace the family history or memories it holds. I understand selling things if you have financial woes, but I would personally never sell something given to me unless absolutely necessary, bc money comes and goes, but the object and it’s meaning are irreplaceable.

      Well,if it pays ur loans, coversurhealthcare bills or can enable a long desired world trip, would u still keep the things? Besides,now that their actual value is out,it could easily be stolen,leaving neither the product or the money. Better to sell to a museum or a collector who appreciates it for its true value

      If you hold a lamp over financial stability you have some serious logistics issues to sort out. You could just as easily spend $1,000 on something new and pass it on to another family member who will cherish it. The aunt more than likely wouldn't tell them not to sell her art collection realizing that it had soared in value to thousands of times what she had purchased it for. You may not be able to find the same vase ever again, but art is a replenishable resource.

    I notice that a lot of viewers of this upload marvel at, and can't believe, the prices that the Morning Glory and Lava vases are worth today. The prices today are so high because of their pedigree but also because while most were not collected as art when they were made, since the late '50s and early '60s their beauty and rarity were "re-discovered" which made them extremely sought after by an ever increasing number of collectors.
    When these vases (ie. the rare paperweight and lava vases) were made, stretching from their early progenitors in the early 1880's to when L.C. Tiffany was old and not in good health around 1920 he turned the factory over to his right hand man Nash to run. Louis Tiffany deliberately patterned many of his vases (and lamps) after nature, and the public were extremely impressed with them and they, along with other artist's works helped pioneer Art Nouveau. However, make no mistake in thinking that just because the vases were made when a dollar bought a whole lot more than today that L.C.T. priced his works cheap. He priced the better works at very high prices for the day as he did not particularly want them in the homes of the middle class. He spent a lot to pioneer the materials and techniques, as well as paying for top glass chemists and artisans of the day, some of those proven experienced glass workers which he paid to bring over from England. He really didn't make the vases himself, but he did employ some of the very best glass artisans to do so. He spent a lot of his inheritance from his father's silver shop to fund what would eventually prove to be a money losing business, especially when the magic of his works wore off over the 40+ years of his business.

    As a low-level Tiffany Studios collector, I have to thank every one of you on this thread who thinks these masterpieces are ugly. You make my collecting life so much easier.
    And if anyone here actually does what to get into collecting Tiffany Studios pieces, my advice to you is first, do your research. Second, know your dealer. And third, know your Market. If it is legitimate Tiffany you need to find the correct price point between what the market will bear and what you can afford.
