20" Jonquil Daffodil

Springtime daffodils were Louis Comfort Tiffany's favorite flowers and he had banks of these sunny flowers lining the drive to his Long Island, New York estate. The 20" Jonquil Daffodil combines two varieties of daffodil on one design. Set against a blue sky and surrounded by it distinctive green foliage, tall yellow daffodil trumpets overlook the shorter Narcissus on the lower half of the shade.

The shade has a generously proportioned dome shape that provides the perfect canvas for the rhythmic positioning of the blooms.

Horizontal border rows give the design stability and keep the exuberant flowers in check. The shade is shown on the elegant Library base (23" tall). This lamp is now in a private home in Nevada.
