Wisteria lamp
A shade of nearly two thousand pieces of glass hanging like wisteria clusters from a bronze branch.
The Wisteria was one of Tiffany Studios’ most expensive models and was made in only a few hundred examples. Clara Driscoll designed it, and the women of her department selected and cut the glass. Examples are in the Morse Museum and the Metropolitan Museum.
Materials: Copper-foiled Favrile glass, bronze
Manufacture: The rim of the shade is irregular like the flowers; the base is a bronze tree trunk with a bronze branch holding the shade.
The rim is not straight – it follows the shape of the flower clusters.
The base like a gnarled tree trunk with roots.
