LAMPARA

Lamp. Culture: American. Designer: Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, New York 1848-1933 New York). Dimensions: Base: H. 26 1/2 in. (67.3 cm); Diam. 14 5/8 in. (37.1 cm)
Shade: H. 14 5/8 in. (37.1 cm). Maker: Tiffany Studios (1902-32). Date: 1904-15.
This water-lily table lamp is one of Tiffany's most successfully executed designs for his firm's well-known leaded-glass products. The overall organic character of the lamp is emphasized throughout the piece in its details. The bronze support replicates broad, flat lily pads clustered around a base, out of which rise attenuated climbing stems that disappear into the shade and reemerge in glass at the crown, drawing the eye to the cascading blossoms of the irregular border. A variety of glass was used to great advantage, as seen in the alternation of the pink opalescent stems with those of translucent rippled blue, giving the appearance of a bog where water lilies might be found.
