Item name: Vintage Iridescent Art Glass Lamp shade Favrile, Damascene, Luster.
Item description: An exceptional art glass lamp shade in lustrous shades of green, gold, blue and purple. The pattern is F...avrile or Damascene and was widely popular. Examples can be seen from Tiffany, Quezal, Steuben, Loetz, and Durand. Other studios also produced pieces and Lundberg is producing this pattern today. We are confident this is an authentic vintage piece, Ca. 1890's - 1930's. It's design is reflective of the Art Nouveau/Art Deco transition period. The configuration of the fitter rim and fitter lip, as well as the even opalescent interior finish (fitter rim to bottom outer rim) is consistent with vintage age. The shade has been stored for over 47 years. The shade measures 2 1/4" at fitter rim, has a base diameter of 6 3/4" and is 3 1/2" high. It is unsigned, which is not unusual. Durand rarely signed lamp shades, while Tiffany, Stuben, and Quezal signed less than half their pieces. The introduction of fake Tiffany, Stuben, and Quezal signatures in the 1970's adds to the confusion, as these forgeries were placed on vintage pieces. The beautiful shade offered here is light weight, not as clunky/heavy as later reproductions. The quality of the glass is very fine. Please refer to our photographs.
CONDITION:The shade is in excellent vintage condition. There are no flea bites, chips or cracks. There is some slight rippling to the interior opalescence of the shade that occurred during it's manufacture. There is also a manufacturing irregularity on the surface of the shade that can be felt with the fingers but, does not detract from the visual quality of the shade.
