Thanks in part to the education I received here, I found this "unsigned Tiffany?" on the internet. I recognized its decoration immediately from the other examples I viewed and lusted after on C.W. I now have my very first, very fine piece of Quezal. It has a button pontil and a faded paper label and stands 10" tall. Thank you Jack and Frank for the tutorials.
