And how have you determined that it is not Tiffany ??  Did you have someone look at it ??  Did they offer to buy it ??  It is not Imperial !!

The LCT should go counter clockwise not clockwise like this one.

Louis Comfort Tiffany used so many signatures that it is impossible to determine what is real Tiffany and what is not from that alone !! Most of the authorities do not go by signature only and even they say that there are variations !! The color, the form, the decorative aspect all must be in line with Tiffany Studios !!  I would suggest having it checked by one of the auctions that know his glass well !!   Where did you get this vase ??

They really didn't say anything about it, it was a table tray lot.

Steuben, Loetz and others made similar art glass and they sell on the same level with Tiffany !! Yes there are fakes but unless you know art glass well I would not trust just anyone to tell which is which !! If it were mine I would get it checked by authorities of Tiffany and other high end art glass !!

I hope this is the right page,,was reading the FAQ`s too !!  Just send pics,, really good ones by email per their instructions !!  You are thinking of selling the vase aren`t you ??  Its a free service so even if its a fake,,costs nothing to find out for sure !!  I would get another opinion as well !! I will keep looking !!
