The artwork, titled “Pond Lily table lamp (model no. 344),” was created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1910. This piece is associated with the Art Nouveau movement, also referred to as Modern, and belongs to the design genre. It is part of the “Tiffany lampshades‎” series, which is notable for its innovative and decorative approach to lighting design during the early 20th century.
The artwork features a lampshade composed of intricately arranged pieces of colorful stained glass, skillfully assembled to depict pond lilies amidst a tranquil aquatic setting. The upper portion of the lampshade is dominated by blue glass pieces, evoking the serene hues of water, while the lower part showcases various hues of green, pink, and white, representing the pond lilies in bloom. The base of the lamp is designed to resemble the natural, organic forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, providing a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing foundation for the elaborately decorated shade. The craftsmanship and elegance of the “Pond Lily table lamp” reflect the artist’s dedication to both functional and artistic excellence.
