The Dogwood Ball Lamp is a unique combination of shade and base. The tall and slender base supporting a delicate orb has the feeling of a graceful Art Nouveau fantasy. This unusual lamp is now in a private collection in Texas. The 10″ round shade is held aloft by a special six pronged crutch on…
The 22″ Dragonfly is one of Tiffany Studios most popular shade designs. The shade lends itself equally for use as a large table lamp, floor lamp, or chandelier fixture.

Mermaids, the legendary half human/half aquatic creatures, have appeared in folklore and inspired artists of every civilization for thousands of years.
