Millefiori Vase

Q: This tiny vase was given to me when I was a little girl and I’m now 82. It’s 2 inches tall. I was told it was Tiffany but there is no mark on the bottom. It’s beautiful colored glass and there are no imperfections. Does this have any value other than sentimental?

A: This is not a Tiffany vase. It’s millefiori glass. The word “millefiori” means “a thousand flowers.” Millefiori glass is made of many small pieces of glass resembling flowers that are grouped together to form the design. Tiffany didn’t make millefiori glass. The vase isn’t Tiffany quality and there is no signature. so its low in value, under $25.
