In a show of force, examples of Tiffany Studios confections make up an amazing 47 lots in the sale, with the options mostly split between lamps and favrile glass.

Still in operation today, Steuben has a long history of producing some of the most collectible glass in the market, with varieties such as Aurene, Tyrian, and Tiffany. Among the sale’s Steuben selections, the leader is a red Aurene glass footed vase dating to around 1910. Standing 12.25in in height, it carries an estimate of $40,000-$50,000.
