22" Elaborate Peony

The 22" Elaborate Peony is a masterpiece of Impressionist lamp design. As the name implies, with 1038 individual pieces of glass, this is a more highly detailed version of Tiffany's popular 22" Peony shade which has 822 pieces. 

The saturated color scheme for this shade begins with a cerulean blue sky/background at the top that transitions down to a rich cobalt blue. The flower colors include a mix of lush pinks and velvety reds. 

Frilly peony flowers in full bloom cover the surface of the shade. A mass of leaves playfully interacts with the flowers giving the design a fullness that encourages the glass artist to find interesting glasses to showcase in every aspect of the shade.

The shade is shown on the elegant Arc base (29" tall). With its delicate open fretwork, this large base has a light, airy look. This lamp has been sold and is in a private collection in Texas.

16" Persian

The 16" Persian is a geometric shade with an exotic decorative border. Bookmarked by a lightly mottled green geometric background the colorful band of arabesques is both playful and elegant. Traditional colors found in Persian tiles were chosen for the decorative band. The shade is shown on the Mock Turtle base (21.5" tall). This lamp has been sold and is in a private collection in New York City.

14" Dragonfly

Created in a wide variety of sizes and endless color combinations, dragonfly lamps were one of  Tiffany Studio's signature lamp motifs and their popularity still holds strong today. We created this 14" Dragonfly shade using a watery blue/green glass that was created by the Lins Glass Foundry in the 1990's. Pressed glass jewels and filigreed dragonflies enhance the three dimensional quality of the shade. Shown on the Miniature Tree Trunk base (17" tall), this lamp has been sold and is now in a private collection in New Jersey.
