Dragonfly Library Lamp

ca. 1910

ORIGINAL COLLECTION

A base is an essential part of a Tiffany lamp, but is often overshadowed by its colorful shade. In this example, however, the deep blue of the blown glass base with its pulled-feather decoration compliments the muted blue and mauve of the Dragonfly shade.
