Constructed completely by hand, each piece of glass is encased in a metal framework and each unit is joined to the others by small loops in a…
Tiffany Studios created apple blossom shades in many shapes and sizes. The turban shape of this 12″ Apple Blossom shade enhances the flow of the flowering branches. The shade is shown on the Torpedo base (18″ total lamp height). This lamp was commissioned in 2021 by a client in South Carolina.
