The 15" Spider is one of our most popular small lamps. Tiffany Studios originally labeled this shade Plain with Heavy Ribs for Base 337 (on their price lists "plain" is Tiffany-speak for geometric, base 337 is the Mushroom) but the inspiration for this design is obviously a long legged spider sitting atop its web in a garden. The cast bronze spider gives the shade a tactile thee dimensional look which is accentuated by the irregular lower edge.
The glass chosen for this shade dramatically shifts from green to deep amber. Original examples of this shade are almost always mated with the highly detailed Mushroom base (17" height) as indicated on the original price listing for the shade. This lamp was created for a client in Connecticut.
