Lamp of the Week: 18" Cobweb on Wheat Mosaic Base

The 18" Cobweb shade is an unusual Tiffany Studios shade design with thick, cast metal branches making up the irregular lower rim and extending up into the shade itself. The Wheat Mosaic base is intricately detailed with a hand applied glass mosaic background in between bronze wheat shafts and foliage in relief rising up between stylized tree trunks. 

Each of the six flattened sides has a cobweb anchored within the branches. Each web is different, with only one containing an industrious spider. We chose rich blues for the sky at the top of the shade that lighten and fade into the multicolored webs. The apple blossom flowers and buds are a mix of pink, red and white.

This lamp was completed for a client in Washington state at the end of 2019.
