These painting appear to us to be in untouched wonderful condition and does to be in very good overall condition. There is very strong and fully documented relations between WALT WHITMAN and DR. EDWARD RUGGLES and his paintings and the following was taken from the internet as just one such documented correspondence; Ruggles, Edward Dr. (1817-1867) Physician, Artist. Dr. Edward Ruggles was a friend of the Whitman family who was an "eccentric physician and painter in Brooklyn" (G. W. Allen 323). Ruggles earned his medical degree at Bowdoin College sometime around 1840. At some point, he gave up his medical career and devoted himself to painting. His "cabinet pictures" were known as "Ruggle Gems" and they "were greatly in demand at the time of his death, though apparently other artists were contemptuous of them. Many thought him eccentric, and apparently some found him unpleasant: ’For the shams and phariseeisms of life he had no sympathy and not much charity; and he did not hesitate to say what he thought for fear of consequences. To say things which run counter to common prejudices is not to court popularity; and it may be that Dr. Ruggles sometimes gained disfavor by such a course without securing any compensating advantage’" (G. W. Allen 323-24). Gay Allen suggests that "[h]e sounds very much in some ways like Walt Whitman himself" (380). A. L. Rawson describes Ruggles as a friend of Ada Clare, which does not place him at Pfaff’s proper, but does suggest that he spent time at Clare’s 42nd Street home where many Bohemians were known to gather. Also from the internet; Dr. Edward Ruggles (? - c. 1866) Ruggles, a physician, was active during the period 1848 to 1865. He was an "amateur" painter, since he was made an honorary member of the National Academy of Design from 1851 to 1860. He was elected to the Century Association in 1848 (and apparently resigned in 1851). He exhibited at the National Academy and the American Art Union from 1851 to 1860. Prang lithographic firm of Boston published nine of his New Hampshire views, titled RUGGLES' GEMS. One of the chromolithographs was titled Mount Washington (see Ruggles' Gems, page 153). Another painting titled White Mountains was sold at a Leonard Auction in 1863.

Stunning Vase signed "GENUINE CAMARK" in Gold within the shape of the State of Arkansas on the base. This item has a textured finish very similar to that of the J.B. Owens Pottery Company Opalesce Line. The Textured surface is BLACK though. The Iridescent King of Prussia Daffodil is in Brick Red on Gold with some shiny Black. The decorated surface appears to have been applied and fired on the White Clay Body BEFORE the Black layer was applied and fired on. The interior of the vase has a Glossy very Dark Brown/Black Glaze and can also be seen on the very underside of the vase as well where the Company Mark is located. This vase is very similar to Wellers Lasa and Lamar lines as well but somewhat different as well. The vase stands 8" tall and measures 5 1/2" across at the widest point.

This is a Magnificent Circa 1893-95 L.C. Tiffany Studios *CORONA* Original Vase. This vase measures 9" across the base at the widest point and stands 6 1/4" tall. First let me say that the Blue that appears in the images actually shows as a GOLD Phantom Luster on the item. For some reason it always photographs Blue. This item has Large Green Iridescent Pulled Feathers up the Body to the Neck of the vase and is surrounded by Gold Iridescent Phantom Luster Finish. I honestly believe this item to be from the first year or two of Art Glass production by Louis Comfort Tiffany while at the Corona location. This vase is of relatively thick Paperweight glass and has a very odd Film to the interior that seems to have pealed away or not adhered in some areas. I am not sure if this was done at the time of production or afterward. The exterior has stunning iridescence which is unlike any later Tiffany examples that I have carried or seen (and that is a fairly good amount). The vase absolutely looks like the Decayed and Decomposing Egyptian and Syrian Glass that Louis Comfort Tiffany was trying to replicate. The Wonderful Organic shape is clearly one of his earliest designs. without restrictions or strict structure this item fills a large space. The base has an unfinished and un-ground pontil which is common for Tiffany's earliest work. One can view very similar items in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts American Wing Collection. The vase exhibits some small pimples, bubbles as well as one open bubble we have included a close up of. This is how this item was created and we make mention for accuracy sake alone as this item is extremely Rare and Beautiful in its own right. The vase is Unsigned and we do Guarantee that this item is as we have represented. It has been in our personal collection for decades. Should one wish to remove the interior film, we are very much aware that this can be done and no one would know that it existed, but, this is how we received this item and we will pass it on in the exact same condition just in case it was originally meant to be this way. Please view the images and remember that it is much more Phantom Luster Gold and Green and very little blue actually exists in the finish. This item has No chips, cracks or repairs but does have some in the making anomalies. Please Inquire regarding Price and Shipping fees via Ground Insured UPS Shipping.
