Height 1.5 in., Width 2.25 in, Depth 2.25 in. Weight 3 oz. Marked Tiffany Studios New York 991 on underside. This Tiffany and Co votive candle holder comprises a cylindrical gilt brass outer sleeve with a pierced grapevine and leaf pattern cut through the metal walls, fitted with a removable malachite green glass liner that glows warmly when a candle is lit within, the interplay of golden brass and deep green glass creating a rich jewel-like effect characteristic of the Tiffany aesthetic tradition. The pierced grapevine motif is a recurring decorative vocabulary in Tiffany and Co silver and metalwork, drawing on the long history of the grapevine as an ornamental symbol in both classical and Arts and Crafts design traditions associated with the firm. The upper rim and lower base ring are polished smooth, framing the pierced middle band and providing a clean architectural structure to the piece. The piece carries the Tiffany and Co mark and is in very good condition with the gilt finish bright and the green glass liner intact with no chips or cracks. The green glass liner is removable for cleaning and candle replacement -- this form of votive with a decorative metal outer sleeve and colored glass inner cup is a less commonly encountered Tiffany home accessory form and more distinctive than the standard rock cut crystal votives.
