Tiffany-style Stained Glass Hanging Lamp Shade with Floral Motif

This item is a Tiffany-style stained glass hanging lamp shade, characterized by its intricate floral design. The shade is circular and appears to be made from numerous individual pieces of colored glass, meticulously joined together with lead or copper foil, indicative of the 'copper foil' technique often associated with Tiffany lamps. The primary colors observable in the glass are various shades of green, suggesting foliage, interspersed with lighter pinks and hints of white, likely depicting flowers (possibly roses or hydrangeas). Other accent colors like blues, yellows, and browns are also present, adding depth and realism to the floral arrangement. The construction shows distinct solder lines forming the outlines of the design elements. The overall shape of the shade seems to be an inverted bowl or dome, designed to hang and cast light downwards, with a central opening at the apex for the light fixture and wiring. A metal rod or pipe is visible extending from the center, which would typically connect to the suspension chain or ceiling mount. The exterior edge of the shade features a border created from darker, possibly blue or brown, rectangular glass pieces. Given the style, it is consistent with the Art Nouveau period, meaning it could date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century if it were an original Tiffany Studio piece, or a later reproduction. Without close inspection for maker's marks, it is considered 'Tiffany-style.' The condition appears to be relatively good, with no immediately obvious cracks or missing glass pieces, although the image quality and lighting make it difficult to determine fine details of wear, repairs, or patina on the solder lines. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention to detail in the glass selection and assembly.
