Tiffany & Co. \"Sintra\" porcelain vase, designed by Tiffany & Co. and made in Portugal, marked with the 1996 copyright on the base. Baluster form in white porcelain with a hand-painted multicolor floral motif and hunter green rim trim. Stands 11 inches tall. New old stock, never used, in the original Tiffany & Co. box.
Tiffany & Co. is best known for fine jewelry and silver, but the house has also produced home and tabletop porcelain through licensed European ateliers, with pieces made in Portugal representing some of the most decorative entries in that catalog. This \"Sintra\" pattern vase carries a hand-painted multicolor floral motif around its baluster body, set against a glossy white porcelain ground, with a hunter green rim trim finishing the top edge. The painterly, slightly loose brushwork is characteristic of the hand-finishing on these Portuguese-made Tiffany lines, distinguishing it from the flatter, more uniform look of transfer-printed porcelain.
The vase shows no chips, cracks, or crazing anywhere on the body, rim, or foot. The glaze is glossy and even throughout, with no fading to the floral colors. The base is marked \"Tiffany & Co.\" with the 1996 copyright and \"Made in Portugal.\" The original turquoise Tiffany & Co. presentation box survives in excellent condition.
Tiffany & Co.\'s licensed European porcelain lines were produced in far smaller volumes than the brand\'s jewelry and tableware, and pieces made specifically in Portugal turn up far less often on the secondary market than the company\'s bone china or crystal output. What makes this example worth seeking out is condition plus completeness together — a hand-painted porcelain vase this age with no chips or crazing, still paired with its original box, is the kind of full presentation that rarely survives this many decades intact. The Tiffany & Co. name carries resale recognition that an unmarked European porcelain piece simply doesn\'t, and the hand-applied floral work here has real painterly variation rather than the mechanical repetition of a printed pattern — exactly the kind of detail collectors of this category look for.
A genuinely scarce find in this condition with the full original presentation intact. Well suited as a statement piece for a collector of vintage Tiffany & Co. home goods, or as a refined gift for anyone who appreciates hand-painted European porcelain.
