Customer Reviews

Mr. Duncan set up by tax evader

This terrific book is the museum show catalog for an amazing Tiffany exhibit organized by Alastair Duncan the world's top authority on Tiffany glass and the most prolific author on the subject.To address the review regarding his conviction for selling a stolen window it MUST be noted that he was set up by a crooked Tiffany dealer who was working for a politically ambitious and corrupt federal prosecutor.

however...

Mr. Duncan is currently being charged in connection with selling at least one stolen Tiffany window. He bought it for 30K andsold it to a party in Japan for 220K. The theft was not discovered until he tried to do it again 6 yrs later.
