In the dynamic first quarter of the 20th century, Louis Comfort Tiffany and his Tiffany Studios in New York City produced 24 distinctly different bronze desk-set patterns with nearly 1,000 different items sold separately, so that successful business leaders could decide which and how many they could arrange on their desks. The typical set might include inkwell, pen tray, paper rack, rocker blotter, and decorative ends for the desk blotter. Some patterns have a dozen or fewer items, but a few patterns have about 80 items available. Over 600 color photographs show most of the desk set items, with carefully researched text, including their Tiffany item numbers, markings, sizes, related pieces, and rarity, and an indispensible Master List of all the original Tiffany Studios items, including lamps, planters, match holders, etc., in numerical order. It will help to identify pieces never seen before and mismatched and put-together items. This is the most comprehensice collecting guide to the subject..

The Single in Seattle series Reeling in Love Finding the perfect cup of coffee in Seattle is easy. Finding a guy, not so much—unless that guy finds you...in the most unexpected way. Snap. Click. Snap. Molly steers clear of anything that doesn't have her behind the lens of her trusty camera. That is her passion, her love and her life. Being an award-winning photographer who creates countless book covers for authors all over the world has its perks—half-naked men, for starters. Always looking but never touching—mixing business with pleasure is a big no-no in her line of work. Molly never could picture herself having a happily ever after like the romance novels where her cover shots are featured. There are plenty of fish in the sea, but what happens when you get clobbered by one—literally? Molly finds herself being the catch of the day in Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market. After meeting Owen, a sexy fisherman with stormy-gray eyes, everything changes. Not ready to take the plunge and dive into this romance, Molly finds herself barely keeping above water as she swims in a sea of new emotions and wild love. She isn't so sure she is cut out for this relationship, but Owen sets out to prove that fate has him Reeling in Love. Will Owen and Molly sail off into the sunset or will Molly be the one that got away, only to stay...Single in Seattle? Puppy Love Life—and love—is better with a bulldog...right? Everything is changing for Tiffany. Things used to be simple—Friendship Friday nights with her besties, Mackenzie and Molly, meeting up for late afternoon lattes and just enjoying the single life in Seattle. Now Molly is engaged. Can their friendship survive the change? Coffee is not just a drink, but a way of life for these three best friends, but Tiffany takes her love of coffee to a whole other level. Her job is assistant to an executive at Blue Moose Coffee Corporation, but it's in jeopardy when Colin Murphy takes over the small company. This isn't the first time Tiffany has met Colin. They've already kissed and possibly shared an incredible one-night stand. She's still a little foggy about that, waking up in his luxurious hotel suite with no recollection of the night before. She has more questions than answers. Tiffany could easily fall in love with Colin, except now he's her boss and that complicates things. And besides...if keeping her job means becoming a babysitter for an English Bulldog with a severe drooling problem, then Tiffany isn't so sure she's going to be employed much longer. She can handle every aspect of her job, no problem, but taking care of a stinky and stubborn dog isn't in the job description. Things start to get interesting when she finds herself falling for Colin and his precious fur baby, but is it just puppy love? A Latte of Love When life hands you lemons, the right guy needs to be there to make the lemonade. Life isn't just handing Mackenzie lemons—more like chucking them at her. With the recent tragic death of her baby sister, her best friends both getting married and her feeling even more alone than ever, Mackenzie has had about all she can take. Why can't she find the right guy? Her besties, Molly and Tiffany, are determined to help her, but little do they know he may already have arrived. The man who had dashed all of Mackenzie's dreams of the perfect happily ever after is back and this time for good. Gideon's return flips her world upside down in more ways than she can count. Why does life have to be so darn complicated? Afternoon lattes and Friendship Fridays with her girlfriends are all that seem to help Mackenzie s

The Dead Letters - In the Atlanta dead-letter office, a series of odd letters began to arrive from Seattle. The envelopes were addressed simply to "sister" with no address or return address and inside, the letters were signed by someone who called herself, Princess. Yet, the contents of the letters seemed to be a cry for help, and soon it became Natalie's obsession to find her. For that she needed the help of a detective – a very handsome detective named Daniel. The Locked Room - The last thing Colette Bouchard wanted was to go back to the small town that hated her almost as much as she hated it. Yet when her father passed away it was up to her to settle his affairs. She fully intended to arrange his funeral, sell everything, and then leave town – after, of course, she got a good look at what was in the bedroom her father forbid her to enter. Love and Suspicion - When Tiffany Clark's car broke down and she was forced to walk to a nearly deserted small town in Iowa, the only person she found was an old man who had not spoken to anyone in years. She soon learned he could speak, he just didn't, and the reason had to do with the town's shocking and scandalous unsolved mystery.
Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co. by Medill Higgins Harvey,Andrea Achi,Deniz Beyazit,Monika Bincsik,John Byck,Sheila R. Canby,Maryam Ekhtiar,Moira Gallagher,Kyriaki Karoglou,Christopher S. Lightfoot,Pengliang Lu,Amy McHugh,Iris Moon,Annamarie Sandecki,Karen Stamm,Catherine D. Stergar Pdf
Edward C. Moore (1827–1891) was the creative leader who brought Tiffany & Co. to unparalleled originality and success during the late nineteenth century. A silversmith, designer, and prodigious collector, Moore sought out exceptional objects from around the world, which he then used as inspiration for Tiffany’s innovative silver designs. This informative, richly illustrated volume, the first study of Moore’s life, collection, and influence, presents more than 170 examples from his vast collection, ranging from Greek and Roman glass to Spanish vases, Islamic metalwork, and Japanese textiles. These are juxtaposed with sixty magnificent silver objects created by the designers and artisans at Tiffany who were inspired by Moore’s acquisitions. Included among them are the world-famous Bryant Vase drawing upon Greek examples, a love cup featuring ornate “Saracenic” decoration, and a chocolate pot incorporating novel techniques influenced by Japanese ceramics and lacquerware. The illuminating texts have been enriched by groundbreaking research into contemporary sources such as newspapers and periodicals, the Tiffany & Co. Archives, and a newly identified technical manual and supervisor’s diaries, all of which provide an intimate look at the firm’s design processes and Moore’s role in shaping them. A valuable contribution to the history of American decorative arts, Collecting Inspiration illuminates both the legendary Tiffany aesthetic and the legacy of a significant collector, designer, and entrepreneur of the Gilded Age.
Molly Hallberg is a thirty-nine-year-old divorced writer living in New York City who wants her own column, a Wikipedia entry, and to never end up in her family’s Long Island upholstery business. For the past four years Molly’s been on staff for an online magazine, covering all the wacky assignments. She’s snuck vibrators through security scanners, speed-dated undercover, danced with Rockettes, and posed nude for a Soho art studio. Fearless in everything except love, Molly is now dating a forty-four-year-old chiropractor. He’s comfortable, but safe. When Molly is assigned to write a piece about New York City romance "in the style of Nora Ephron," she flunks out big-time. She can’t recognize romance. And she can’t recognize the one man who can go one-on-one with her, the one man who gets her. But with wit, charm, whip-smart humor, and Nora Ephron’s romantic comedies, Molly learns to open her heart and suppress her cynicism in this bright, achingly funny novel.
Louis C. Tiffany's Glass-bronzes-lamps by Robert Koch Pdf
A complete or definitive catalogue of the products of Tiffany Studios that would include all the objects associated with Louis C. Tiffany, the founder of the firm, can never be compiled. The extraordinarily prolific character of this artist and designer, described in detail in his biography, Rebel in glass, led him to venture into a very wide variety of materials and media and to employ many other artists and designers to carry out his ideas. -- pg. 13.

Louis Comfort Tiffany and Laurelton Hall by Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen,Elizabeth Hutchinson Pdf
Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany's (American, 1848-1933) extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, New York, completed in 1905, was the epitome of Tiffany's achievement and in many ways defined this multifaceted artist. Tiffany designed every aspect of the project inside and out, creating a total aesthetic environment. This publication accompanies an exhibition that reveals Tiffany's most personal art, bringing into focus this remarkable artist who lavished as much care and creativity on the design and furnishing of his home and gardens as he did on all the wide-ranging media in which he worked. Although the house tragically burned to the ground in 1957, many of its surviving architectural elements and interior characteristics are included in this volume. Also featured are Tiffany's personal collections of his own work-breathtaking stained-glass windows, paintings, glass and ceramic vases-as well as the artist's collections of Japanese, Chinese, and Native American works of art. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER It’s 1893, and at the Chicago World’s Fair, Louis Comfort Tiffany makes his debut with a luminous exhibition of innovative stained-glass windows that he hopes will earn him a place on the international artistic stage. But behind the scenes in his New York studio is the freethinking Clara Driscoll, head of his women’s division, who conceives of and designs nearly all of the iconic leaded-glass lamps for which Tiffany will long be remembered. Never publicly acknowledged, Clara struggles with her desire for artistic recognition and the seemingly insurmountable challenges that she faces as a professional woman. She also yearns for love and companionship, and is devoted in different ways to five men, including Tiffany, who enforces a strict policy: He does not employ married women. Ultimately, Clara must decide what makes her happiest—the professional world of her hands or the personal world of her heart.
