A Tiffany Studios New York "Tulip" table lamp. The shade features brilliant red tulips with green leaves against a blue ground and sits atop a gilt bronze “Mock Turtle” base. The flowers are recreated with stunning realism. In some cases, all six petals of some of the blossoms can be seen. The tulips are ingeniously overlapped to create the illusion of depth. Because of the sky blue ground on the upper portion of the shade and the earthy tones present throughout the lower apron, one has the impression of gazing at a tulip bed on a sunny afternoon. The lamp base and shade are pictured separately in: Tiffany Lamps and Metalware: An illustrated reference to over 2000 models, by Alastair Duncan, Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antiques Collectors’ Club Ltd.: base, p. 110, cat. 454, base # 587; shade, p. 167, cat. 682, shade # 1548. A similar shade is also pictured in: The Lamps of Tiffany, by Dr. Egon Neustadt, New York: The Fairfield Press, 1970, p. 150, plate 212.
