Tiffany Studios New York "Lotus Leaf" Table Lamp

This Tiffany Studios New York "Lotus Leaf" table lamp, considered among the most architecturally complex of the firm's designs, features an ombre leaded glass shade that graduates subtly in hue from the most vibrant green to an almost milky white, and sits on a patinated bronze base specifically designed to accompany it. The lamp is notable for its Eastern influence, as the shape of the shade designed to mimic that of a Japanese parasol as well as a lotus leaf, and for its early hybridization of the two tranches of Tiffany Studios New York designs; the geometric and the floral.
