Antique Leaded Glass Lamp Floral Fiery Glass Leaf Foliage Handel Morgan Tiffany
Specific Features indicate this antique leaded glass lamp an art nouveau project was made by a very skilled quality lamp company. Special features noted below indicate this lamp was prepared in advanced by skilled maker using techniques to produce a very high quality leaded floral design in many aspects were competing with their most competitive lamp company Tiffany Studios leaded lamps production was meant to attract wealthy patrons. This unknown lamp maker to myself had specific features unlike other companies of the time wanted this affluent draw so had to improve their lamp making skills. Specific Features added to this complex realistic art nouveau design of a flower garden brought indoors into patrons living rooms: My teacher/mentor cut glass to make leaded glass lamps of highest quality as she worked with Jim Schlitz of Schlitz Studios in Milwaukee in the 1990’s – She teaches me how quality lamps were first planned ahead & made by skilled lamp makers & told me this leaded glass shade was made by a master in the field. Special Features of this lamp being made by high quality producer during early 20th C. Pic #10 shows the milky opalescent textured glass in various colors including yellow, brown, blue, red, white, green employed in the leaves surrounding this floral design with very fine leading. Pic#11 shows interior of shade colors glass used for the leaves. Other pics show the many tiles of opalescent glass which display with a milky streak inside the glass. Flower Buds have a 3D effect – look carefully at the glass selection technique of the 2 separate budding flowers – 3 orange flowering buds – 3 red/rose color flowering buds – The orange flowering buds have light orange toned colored glass for the outside petals with dark toned orange color of the interior petals. Similar 3D effects of the 4 red/rose color flowering buds with lighter toned colors on exterior petals & darker tones of same color for the interior of flowering petals to display the 3D effect of an actual opening flower bud. This was a glass placement technique only produced by an advanced lamp maker to make this floral arrangement stand out & actually pop with realism of actual outdoor garden. Striated glass colors for the flowers are: orange – yellow – pink – rose – red. All glass panels beginning at aperture crown ring are hand bent glass another sign of a quality lamp producer. The flow of this art nouveau floral design was carefully planned out to make this very desirable. The leading throughput is fine & symmetrical indicates quality maker. Height is 25″ lamp with 17.5″ wide shade. Tree trunk base circular foot is 9 wide. Has a single original antique socket that has P & S imprinted on the brass shell holder. This lamp was made by quality manufacturing company. Pics #4,5 & 6 I have lamp placed on window sill with sunlight illuminating the opalescent colors of the leaves to show the beauty of glass used. Before I conclude further in pic #12 I show another leaded glass shade owned by a friend. Last pic #12 is exactly the same flowing floral design & my friend’s lamp is documented as made by John Morgan & Sons. Pic #12 almost identical as my shade which sits on his bronze Morgan floor base. I leave lamp attribution to new owner to research. I found online a similar tree trunk base that is by Mosaic Shade Company of Chicago – so this base could be by Chicago Mosaic Co and possibly the leaded shade is Chicago Mosaic as well. A very well planned out design by whichever lamp company made this. I personally like my shade much more because of the 3D flower buds & mine has the bent glass panels unlike my friend’s leaded lamp. The floral colors are different variations of my lamp. Condition – Remarkable & well preserved – Not a single heat crack in any of the glass – No cracks! – the tree trunk base originally has been painted green & brown. At bottom underside of base are very slight paint chips that show metal below – the exposed metal is bronze in color. Base condition is excellent – shows evidence that this was originally a gas portable because of gas fitting that was electrified with single socket & tripod holder with round cap to fit under the victorian design heat cap attached to the crown ring which rests on round open tripod cap.
