GUEST: My family acquired this through my great-aunts and -uncle that lived in Norwalk.

And when Tiffany factory shut down, what we have heard is that they bought two barrels of Tiffany.

So there's a large collection.

This is just part of it.

And we have divided it among our family, my sisters and myself.

And I have brought in four pieces that I really love.

APPRAISER: It is all Tiffany glass.

These I would absolutely date from about 1928, this piece, this piece, and this piece.

And this one is actually much earlier.

Uh, it was made between 1900 and 1903.

And this is a very unusual piece, 'cause it's what we call a paperweight glass vase.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: Paperweight because of the heaviness, but also because it's transparent.

I've seen one other like it in a different form.

That one is actually from the 1920s.

This one, it says a V prefix, so it's V with an, a number following it.

And the V prefixes, they only made 999 of them.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And I have always believed that these may have been prototypes kind of pieces, because they're always a little more unusual and you don't see the same thing coming and going.

So I think this is a unique piece.

The decoration on this is fabulous, too, because you have these trailings, these vines, or stems, in purple-- not brown and not green.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And then these beautiful little white flowers with little yellow centers.

And then these lovely leaves.

It almost looks like they're floating in water.

Now, the other pieces, from the 1920s, or, the, uh, certainly, this plate here and the bowl is what you would see Tiffany making in the 1920s, which was the pastel glass.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: But what makes yours more interesting is that it's a combination of techniques.

Yes, it is pastel glass, but it's actually paperweight pastel.

GUEST: Oh!

APPRAISER: And it has these wonderful pink morning glories in them.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And on top of that, we also have these pulled areas of glass, so you have these little knobs.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And that's really unusual, the combination of techniques.

So it's not your typical type of pastel glass.

It's, it's, they pulled out all the stops in making these.

GUEST: Wonderful.

APPRAISER: And this one, which is a flower-form vase, this particular form is called a calyx, because of, it's got the elongated cup... APPRAISER: ...and it has the three flattened sides.

What makes this really appealing is that it's really a miniature.

Do you have any idea what your family might have paid for those barrels of glass?

GUEST: I have no idea.

And they were schoolteachers, so I doubt that there was a lot sunk into it.

APPRAISER: I would say that this particular piece would, I would put a value of $4,000 to $5,000 on it.

APPRAISER: This piece, I would say $5,000 to $7,000.

GUEST: Mm, nice.

APPRAISER: This piece, $6,000 to $8,000.

GUEST: Mm.

APPRAISER: And this piece, $25,000 to $30,000.

GUEST: Wonderful.

APPRAISER: So the total for the group ranges from $40,000 to $50,000 retail.

GUEST: That's lovely.

They're beautiful.
