Today, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s name is most closely associated with hundreds of glorious stained glass lamps, each one a masterful orchestration of vibrant color with subdued form. Under his leadership, teams of skilled designers and craftspeople helped transform his broad vision into beautiful objects. Tiffany Studios offered both stock and custom lamps available as floor, table, or hanging models. The BMA example is quite rare – only two or three are known. The imagery – a spring woodland with iris in bloom under spreading trees – resonates with Tiffany’s large landscape windows produced for domestic interiors. Surviving studio inventory records show that this lamp shade, never given a title as many other shades were, was model #1550. The base, recorded as “Bamboo,” was model #473. Customers could select both shade and base, helping to explain the infinite variety found in surviving Tiffany lamps.
