Tiffany-style Stained Glass Tulip Lamp Shade

This is a domed Tiffany-style lamp shade featuring a leaded glass construction with a floral motif. The shade is composed of numerous hand-cut glass segments joined by dark-patinated lead or copper foil cames. The primary field consists of iridescent or opalescent cream-colored glass tiles arranged in a geometric grid pattern, displaying a pearlescent sheen that shifts colors in the light. Inset along the lower portion are pink floral tulip motifs with small green leaves. The top of the shade is crowned with a ventilated metal heat cap featuring a decorative filigree pattern and a small finial. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction in the Art Nouveau style. The leading appears relatively uniform, and the glass colors are vibrant. No significant cracks or missing segments are immediately visible, though there is a natural aged patina on the lead lines and the metal cap. This type of decorative lighting was popularized by companies like Dale Tiffany to emulate the original turn-of-the-century designs.
