Miniature Stained Glass Tiffany-Style Accent Lamp

This is a miniature Tiffany-style accent lamp, often referred to as a 'pixie' or 'mushroom' lamp due to its small stature. The piece features a domed leaded glass shade constructed using the copper foil method. The glass palette is dominated by earthy tones, specifically variegated greens, soft ambers, and cream-colored slag glass, arranged in an irregular, organic mosaic pattern reminiscent of stone or foliage. The shade is topped with a decorative metal finial and cap that shows a darkened bronze-toned patina. The base appears to be a simple, weighted metal pedestal matching the finish of the shade cap. The lamp is powered by a brown electrical cord, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century production, likely a mass-market reproduction rather than an early 20th-century original. The soldering lines (cames) appear consistent but thicker than high-end artisan work, indicating standard commercial quality. Some surface dust and minor oxidation on the metal components are visible, which is typical for its age. It likely stands approximately 6 to 9 inches tall, making it suitable for a desk, bookshelf, or as a nightlight.
