This exceptional Tiffany Dragonfly Lamp features a silver patinated Inverted Mushroom base with matching silvered leading on the shade. This rare finish was made available at Tiffany Studios for an additional 20% on top of the purchase price on any lamp in their catalogue; gilding was also available for an additional 25%.

This example of the 14-inch diameter Dragonfly Shade features a series of dragonflies formed by variegated green glass, their wings in striated green and orange glass mounted with pierced metal filigree. The dragonflies hover above a background of heavily mottled cornflower blue glass, interspersed throughout with deep blue rounded pressed glass "jewels."

This original Tiffany Lamp is signed on both the shade and base.
